My impression that Congaree was an awesome miler (it was not an authoritative statement). I have another Congaree, Kettle River, in my RTTR stable. In the DerbyDreamer game, I decided to take Misremembered from post 13 instead (I personally prefer the Candy Ride pedigree over Congaree at 10 furlongs and Misremembered has done well from outside posts in the past).

Without being able to view stables or having a timestamp like they do at TVG Fantasy .... it would be incredibly easy for a person with keys (an admin) to cheat. and win under friends names.

Whoever Vinery paid to do the admin of that contest ... I hope they're either the worlds most honest person or people or just plain dumb beyond belief ... because they have the power to change things after the fact with 100% deniability.

How's everyone doing?

My two stables are in 4th and 12th, but I don't see how I can possibly win.

I have no hope.

I am in 64th place, about 2,600 points behind the leader. I still have Christina Daae, D'Funnybone, Eskendereya, Rule, & Tuscan Evening left to run. Rule is either going in the Florida Derby or the Louisiana Derby the following week per Elliott Walden's comments in a Bloodhorse article.

I took John Velazquez instead of Mike Smith but Mike Smith has earned a lot of points this month with 2 Grade 1 wins and a Grade 1 second. I would have liked to have been able to pick Neko Bay, Proviso, Radiohead, and Fluke in the Grade 1s if they were available.

I think there are too many stables at the top of the leaderboard with the same horses and they need to add horses for the April scoring period to create diversity among the stables and add more skill to the game.

Whoever finishes in the Top 5 spots of the Florida Derby will likely determine the winner.

Well if you guys win the tickets, just remember, the crowds are just terrible and the drinks are expensive so being the nice girl I am, I'd be happy to take them off your hands.
