There used to be an easy way to find the list of contest races. I couldn't figure it out. There also used to be insider pics - didn't see them listed either.

I just downloaded the PP's and picked horses that had run before and had trainers. Some of them like Dark Cloud Dancer seemed to have a decent enough bloodline for the race but nothing as far as preps. I've been burned on that type the last 2 contests.

I don't like the changes but it's not like I was killin in that contest. I had one good year - got a hat and pen & pencil set.

The scoring has started.

They didn't list the contest races so who knows when to watch your horses.

Don't feel like loading up my stable mail

[AeWingnut]

ok, apparently there are no "contest" races. Every race your horse is in is a contest race. The points are $$$

Essence Hit Man isn't part of the contest. I went with Emma Jane Wilson

at Least Dark Cloud Dancer won for me today. Now I can move up to 2nd to last

I'm just looking at the top people and they have most of my horses along with the big earners I don't
the only thing that could happen is for the big money earners to stop earning and my not run a race yet horses to show up big.

I guess if Giacamo can win the Ky Derby I can hope for a different result

Good luck

Is what Roger Attfield is to Canadian racing is what Bart Bummings is to Australia. Other than that, I haven't even looked this year.

I signed up for this and then promptly forgot all about it until I saw this thread. I checked and my rank is 273rd. The horse that's won the most money for me is Resentless at $90,000.
