what's with the people who run the tvg fantasy contest?

inca king looks like a standout but isnt listed in the contest, so i cant use him.

hes got a g2 win, so why isnt he listed? have they always made mistakes like this in their other contests?

ridiculous!

But I kinda liked Inca King myself, that is a joke! Typical TVG I suppose!

Sometimes if you email them a horse they will add it after the fact.

You like Inca King that much tomorrow?

well, with one caveat, yes i do. i cant say i am extremely familiar with each horse in the race (as in having seen each run multiple times), but i have watched inca king's 3 turf starts.

he's a powerful horse with many gears and he's been basically unchallenged in his 3 starts on turf. when duveen was 4/5 against him, he absolutely slaughtered duveen, and duveen's excuse of stumbling at the start had no bearing at all on the race.

the horses i am familiar with dont bother me too much. CQ is a horse i never liked. summer doldrums is ok i guess, but i'm much more impressed with IK. the same can be said for summer doldrums arch rival in here, strike a deal.

duveen i've already covered, and i'd be shocked if duveen ever finishes in front of IK (in a normally run race).

i havent watched top cross, but he does look interesting. since duveen handled him pretty easily, i'm going to be lazy and toss him out.

the others look a bit cheap on paper, but again, i havent watched them yet.

It would definitely be a good strategy if he was entered since it's a good chance he could be over-looked by most in the contest. It seems most shoot for the bigger names.

I, for better or worse, just added Pleasant Strike and After Market to my stable. I've always really liked Strike A Deal...I think I've been striken with a love of Smart Strike and didn't even know it.

Not sure what to make of the other fillies in the CCAO. I guess it's best to save the moves.

i agree with saving the moves, but i really wanted to add inca king because i think he'll win this race and then the secretariat a few weeks later. maybe i'm going overboard with this horse, as he hasnt faced much, but man, he's nice!

i used cosmonaut in a g3 tomorrow as well, as i hope he'll run back in the arlington million like he did last year.

no need to eat crow if inca wins dude, but i believe inca runs like he doesnt need the lead. he's not commentator or indian vale

OK, hopefully Pletcher taught Pleasant Strike how to run and he'll get me some points this time around.

I've got English Channel, Citronnade and After Market lined up so far this week too. Forgot about the contest opening weekend and wish I would have added Street Sense.
