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.

I'm sitting at 716 in my one league and 506 in the two I forgot to copy my picks over to. Looks like Drugs is sitting in third at 786.

I was miffed because I had Naissace Royal in reserve on Saturday for some reason. I swear I didn't, but fishy things happen with that site. Always good to double check...because of those points I dropped down to around 160th.
Feb. should be interesting, though.
My G1 horses for the month are Balance, Siren Lure, Circular Quay, Dreaming of Anna and Cash included.

For the month I have:

1 Balance
2 Cash Included
3 Dreaming of Anna
4 Ah Day
5 Siren Lure

1 Dreadnaught
2 Baroness Thatcher
3 Ermine
4 Jump On In
5 Downthedustyroad
6 Sugar Shake
7 Einstein (BRZ)

I really need the connections of Einstein to do the smart thing and put him in one of easiest G1s you'll see in the Gulfstream BC Handicap. I really liked Ah Day and Siren Lure in the General George and San Carlos until I saw they could be facing Sweetnorthernsaint and Proud Tower Too so it might not be an easy G2 win I was hoping for.

Here's my Feb. lineup.
I added Ashkal Way without knowing if they actually have a race planned for him. I wasn't sure who was heading to the G1 turf race at GP at the end of the month (Assumed Einstein, maybe Gun Salute, Go Deputy, etc....same cast as last year) Also took Hard Spun despite knowing that the SW stakes is non-graded.
Almost added Octave to the G1 horses, but wasn't sure if she's running this month or not. I assume EZ Warrior should run in the San Vincente this weekend.

1 Cash Included
2 Circular Quay
3 Siren Lure
4 Dreaming of Anna
5 Balance

1 Downthedustyroad
2 Quick Little Miss
3 Hard Spun
4 Notional
5 E Z Warrior
6 Master Command
7 Ashkal Way
