I chose Tiago and Heatseeker. Then I realized the Hollywood Gold Cup isn't on the Road to the Breeder's Cup schedule!!! How is that possible!!

I spent about 20 minutes or so in the beginning and after I did all my picks, it did'nt save it... Then I logged back on the next day and it said to " make picks" with a different catagory...well I am thinking to myself "cool, we get to make a stable in each catagory "..not... Only after I submitted my final picks AGAIN did I realize what had happend... I had some really great horses in the first picks too dang it!

Oh well, I will just add another "pay to play" stable and hope it works out there.

Good luck to anyone else that had confusion as well or even if you knew what you were doing..lol

You should be able to change you horses once the weekend is over to another group.

I think they must be having some issues with the website. I notice the vanity handicap is now off the list.

On the original list, the HGC and Vanity were not on there. People who picked early, of course, would not have these in their consideration. Then, later in the week, the game ADDED these races, when it was too late for the earlier people to make a change. I picked on Friday, and therefore, since those races had been added, I chose my horses, with those races in consideration, i.e., Zenyatta, Heatseeker, etc. THEN, on SATURDAY, those races were once again removed, because, they said, it was not fair for those who picked earlier (which is true, it wasnt).
But what about us late pickers? Screwed.
Either way, its not fair, and either way, someone gets screwed.
If those races were not going to be included, I would have waited until the first draft to add those horses, but instead, I have at least 3 horses that will be running, but not running in scoring races. 3 slots that could have been occupied by horses that WILL be running before the first draft.

They really messed it up, big time.
