I got skunked out of the system today. They close the entries far too early, considering scratches weren't up until 12:00! What would be the problem with having it open until 15 MTP before the 1st contest race?

Might get back to adjust for scratches, so tried to guess at least soft or off the turf for race 9

Race 6 Pascal's Paradox
Race 9 Yippetty Yip
Race 10 Allez Reef

Good luck everyone.
I had Allez Reef for the last contet race today and was severly disappointed in the way the race was run

I barely survive to move on to the next contest race

Don't feel bad, I forgot to play on opening day due to a prior tee ball obligation.

Barely is the key word. Survive and move on, that's the key to the game.

How was this contest won last year. Did the winner outlast everyone or did it come down to contest earnings?

I'm wondering the same thing. . . I have a decent rank right now because I've only been using prices. Not sure if I should keep up w/ that strategy or just start trying to survive.

If I recall correctly, last year there were over 100 entries still alive by the end so it comes down to bankroll. Of course it was probably alot easier to stay alive last year as there were typically at least one 6 horse or smaller field in the selections most if not all days.

Guess enough people whined, because they changed the close time to 30 minutes before the first contest race.
