You can now go and build your stable!

It might be wise to wait until later in the week when entries are confirmed for the stakes races this weekend.

It requires much less thought and homework than the TVG contest.
You just pick 10 horses on the derby trail, 2 jockeys and 2 trainers.
Once you confirm your stable, those are the selections that you keep for the entire contest.
The only management required, is that you need to keep 5 horses active each week, so every Friday just make sure any horses you have running that weekend are on the active list in your stable.

Also there are two drafts later on; the first for 2 additional horses, the second for 2 or 3 or 4, i can't remember, it's changed over the years.

this is the fourth year i've played. never won anything but my goal is just score more points each year. last year was my best so far.
