The website still isn't updated from last year, which seems odd. It says last years sign-ups started Feb 5th, and the contest started Feb. 11th.
Perhaps they decided to start a little later this year. But I agree, it's a fun contest to play.

I thought I read last year that they were not having the contest but I could be mistaken.

Being that Churchill fired its entire web site staff with the exception of a tech guy, I doubt there is anyone there to run the game

Road to the Roses--PAY TO PLAY
Here's a new twist to this year's game. Aside from the regular prizes, contestants can also compete for a pool of money players contribute. $10 entry, top 10 players get paid. Interesting idea. The overall game is still free. ( I know there's already a thread on RTTR, but I thought this deserved it's own)
Here are the rules: PAY TO PLAY OPTION: The Road to the Roses fantasy challenge is free to play. However, new to this year's Road to the Roses game is a "Pay for Play" option. First, and most important to note, that this is a completely optional feature. If you choose not to use this feature, you will still be able to play the game just as you have in years past with all other features and functionality available to you. You also remain eligible for the top 25 regular prizes, the weekly prizes, and the stage prizes. Odds of winning and amount of the entry pool depends on the number of players and selecting the proper horses, trainers and jockeys from the official lists. Briefly, here is how "pay for play" works: As a player in the game, you can run through the payment process in the upper-right corner of the website. For a small $10 fee, you will become eligible for cash payout. All players in the game that pay, their money will go into one pool. At the end of the game, the top 10 "paying" players will receive cash payout. See Prizes for distribution of the entry pool to the top 10 pay to playing participants. Any ties in the monetary payouts will be broken using the Derby 133 attendance estimate. Players may sign up multiple stables in the Pay to Play option, but must have a unique email address and username for each stable. In other words, the same person at the same address may sign up as many stables as they desire, at a cost of $10 per stable. Note that Pay to Play participants are also eligible for the regular game prizes in addition to any monies available. Very important to note that if you do not pay, you are not eligible for a payout! However, you do have the option to sign up and create your stable without immediately paying, yet can still become eligible for the cash prizes. There is a ten-day window from after time of sign-up in which a player can change their status from playing for free to Pay for Play. You will see this option and how much time you have remaining to change your status when you log in to view your stable. After the ten days have expired, and you have not chosen to Play for Pay, that option is no longer available. The final pool size will be determined at the conclusion of the signup for the game, which is April 27, 2007. All payments must be verified by Churchill Downs Incorporated prior to announcing the Pay to Play pool total dollar value. http://www.roadtotheroses.com/G=46/official_rules.phtml

Has anyone tried to actually add horses yet? For some reason I am getting all the horses from 2005. It would be nice to have Afleet Alex again but somehow I can't see him getting me too many points.

Here is my advice for the contest this year: Take Nakatani. He is the regular rider on more of the top 30 contenders than almost anyone else.

Way ahead of you, already have Nakatani on my list. It's a stone cold lock he'll have a runner in the Derby, IMO.

DTers Road to the Roses Contest
UPDATE: The league is now set up and accepting members:
Thanks to Withers the league is now set up and accepting new members: See below for specifics: You will need an activation code in order to sign up for the League. This message confirms that you have successfully created a new league in the Kentucky Derby 133 Fantasy Challenge. Your league information is: League Name: DTers League Identifier: 3749089599 Activation Code: 2080673275 I will be trying to set up a "League" for DTers in the Road to the Roses Contest. Unfortunately I'm at work and can not access my home e-mail account and do not remember my password from last year. SO i can not set up the league until later tonight. As of no the only prize that I can offer for the winner of the league is the bragging rights here at DT (For what that is worth) and an 8 x 10 of their choice from the pictures on my website (www. billtheobaldphotography.com) also not worth much. As I said I will try and set up the League this evening and update this post so you folks can join. Since I'm not very creative the League will be something lame like "DTers" If anyone has time today and can set up the league feel free but please update this post so we don't have a bunch of people creating a league of their own. Thanks HH Last edited by Holland Hacker : 02-16-2007 at 02:30 PM.

I went to the RTTR site and created a "DTers" league. Tiznow, we can skip the DTers League and use sumwonlovesyou, but we need an activation code (see RTTR message below) in order for each of us to sign up. I provide an activation code for DTers below, if we do want to use that one. This message confirms that you have successfully created a new league in the Kentucky Derby 133 Fantasy Challenge. Your league information is: League Name: DTers League Identifier: 3749089599 Activation Code: 2080673275 To invite friends to your new league, you can invite them from the game's league join page, or simply share with them the above information.
