10th over all ? That's fabulous. It seems easy, but when you last more than 2 weeks it starts to get alittle crazy to survive.

dylbertdt is NOW registered. I had played this contest last year as dylbert, but SA system did not locate me. Hey, I'm already in 765th place! Hold me back... LOL

yes. 10th overall (want to say there were about 3000 in that one). I normally do pretty good at the internet contests. Haven't won one of these eliminator types yet, but had top 25 twice at Calder, 10th at SA and 5th at Churchill. Lots of top 100's.
Also done very well with the other free internet contests (was 1st for the week of 12/16 for Brisnet's race of the day, won youbet.net's $100 contest on Christmas eve... 4th time I've won that one).

There should be at least one 5-horse race most days.

If they do, I'll pick every single one of them.

I hope the problems they are having with track maintenance at SA do not result in small fields. The AW track really helped Arlington Park fill their cards this year.

Well in this contest, wouldn't you want small fields?

It makes sense that small fields increase the probability of staying alive in this contest. My favorite tracks are Arlington b/c I live in Illinois and get there about once a month during the meet and Santa Anita, so I am hoping they get full fields.

Good luck to all.
