I probably hate that horse more than any horse on the planet but still picked him since I could only find four Group 1 horses running tomorrow. I changed it this morning in the other two groups in hopes that it will count but I highly doubt it since the rules clearly say midnight the night before.

I agree with you about just trying to fill a spot. Most people are proabably in the same boat as me. There's a dearth of horses in the Grade I category to pick from for today. I put Preachin' in for tomorrows SA stakes and also Ball Four since you can only run so many active in a day. I put the two running tomorrow in reserve. Hey, you can still get some points for tomorrow if you add them today...which I'm sure you know, but just throwing that out there.

Yeah, I have Preachin in reserve now, going to wait to see if I get the points before swapping out others.

Mother &@^#&*@$^@&*$^&*@!!!

654 points in the one league I remembered to set my lineup. 469 in the two I didn't (including the public league). I would be in 13th in the public league, instead I am in 161st. Talk about a major F up.

Edit - and Costa Rising romps giving me 25 more points that don't count in the public league. God I am an idiot.

Well, I wasted one of my Grade I spots with Jazil this weekend!!! Yeah, I know, way to go. Why did I think he was running this weekend!?!? He's supposed to run again on Mar. 3. Oh well, still 14th with that goof.

I don't think there was any spots to waste in the G1 group this weekend.
I think there were only 4 horses in that group that actually ran.

If you're in the top 200 I think you still have a shot.
So many big graded stakes races in the next 3 months...most of the people who are in the top 30 right now knew exactly how the game worked.
A lot of people didn't really understand how you can completely change your lineup each month, therefor took horses the first month that didn't even race.

I'm within the Top 100, but it's soooo frusterating when you have horses you want to add and they are not on the list.

Well, like I said earlier, I put Jazil in and obviously he didn't run. So, the one I wasted was Scat Daddy.
