By June, most stables created now will be obsolete in terms of having a chance to win. Also Life is Sweet, another Dubai-bound horse is the 15th most popular pick. Richard's Kid is at number 25 and Courageous Cat is number 33.

I can see picking Rachel Alexandra now and making her inactive for March to give your stable a shot at the April monthly prize. However, I suspect many players will fork out more cash to create a new stable for the April monthly contest.

Can anyone tell me why Illinois residents are ineligible? I find this felonious.

100% my line of thinking as well. Clearly this game is an overlay if played correctly. I'll be happy to fork out another $12 for the next month's game if this month goes reasonably well.

I just scanned thru this contest and for $1 a month, a chance to win some nice cash and great seats to the Oaks and Derby, and if for no other reason then it looks like a ton of fun, I'm signing up.

Anyone else gettin in this?

It looks good but I think I'll pass. I,m already in a couple contests. It's hard enough for me to remember to make changes in them.

I hope you do well.
