TVG took convincing to bring their fantasy contest back as it appeared they had funding issues since it was a free contest. I have wrote to them about making their contest pay to play. Let's hope they see the Derbydreamer concept and how many entries were purchased and decide to make it pay to play. I think all of us who experienced the TVG Fantasy contest like their format and programming of their contest so much better.

If the Derbydreamer contest does not go off well and people are skeptical in its first month, they will be hard pressed to get people to buy stables for future months. And you will have to buy stables in future months to have a chance at winning, especially when they start adding horses to the available draft pool and the Kentucky Derby and Grade 1 Triple Crown races start up. Their selling point featured in their commercials about a $1 per month is a joke and I can't imagine any stable purchased now having a chance come May (unless maybe if you are one of the admins).

Maybe Steve Byk can try to get someone from Vinery on ATR to discuss the game and ease everyone's skepticism. There have to be a number of DT handicappers who bought Derbydreamer stables -- of course, the cost of purchasing a Derbydreamer stable is nothing compared to what some of us wager in a week.
