Now down to 21 entries left before closing out:
http://www.twinspires.com/php/fw/vegas/1.0/Index/home

As Paul points out, several pre-qualified players are participating which means that if they finish in top 15, the qualifiers will push further down the leaderboard.

This is an unbeatable opportunity to get to Vegas... And if you aren't a Twin Spires member yet, sign up and get the $100 sign-up bonus, thereby decreasing your buy-in investment further.

Here are the 12 races... Good luck to those going after it!

Aqueduct #4 - 1:52
Fair Grounds #2 - 1:59
Calder #5 - 2:07
Churchill Downs #5 - 2:36
Fair Grounds #4 - 2:57
Aqueduct #7 - 3:16
Calder #8 - 3:25
Hollywood Park #1 - 3:30
Golden Gate Fields #2 - 4:18
Churchill Downs #9 - 4:37
Hawthorne #6 - 4:45
Hawthorne #7 - 5:14

Steve- I thought it was open to 650 people.

As far as the first contest race, it's probably more competitive on dirt as it seemed like there were precious few possible winners on the turf.

If I was in your spot, I would lean between the 5 and 7. 5 has some good dirt form and getting bet right now, but should drift up. The 7 is also a horse that will finish for you, and has been working well on the dirt.

It really depends on how close you are to the 15th spot, if you are $14 off then the 7 is the safe play, if you want the gusto the 5 is a good play...

A lot of the people in front of you are gonna shoot the moon and try to win. If I were you I'd take the 4 at 5-1 or so and try to move up enough to get into the NHC.
