This is a pain in the a.s.s to get to, but i got to the entry screen. Go to Rules, then at the bottom right side of the screen where it says "powered by" click there. The you log in if you haven't already, it brings up i think an Aqueduct race. But if you click on Festivus it brings up the screen for tomorrow's Tampa races.

Spent over 45 minutes trying to make a selection the #8 in the 8th I believe was my first choice and then just to select something for a hundred to stay eligible---- the #1 in the first.

Through trial and error i found i could not select the first or the last horse in any race

finally I got $100 wagered and will be eligible the next day of racing friday because you must wager $100 and you must wager everyday of the contest

click on the FAQ. Its written in Italian , I believe

A caution to all. I think that it's important to check for scratches, especially if you post your picks early.

Their scratch rule is somewhat unusual and ties in to the "you must bet your $100 or be disqualified" rule.

Here's the provision concerning scratches:

"Selection scratches: If your selection is scratched at any time before 0 minutes to post, you may make another selection. No changes may be made after that point. If your horse is scratched and you do not make another selection, you are credited for the mythical dollars, but players must be aware they need to make a bet on another race to utilize their entire $100 bankroll. Exception: if the player chooses a horse in the last race that is a late scratch after the cutoff time has expired, the player is given the post time favorite."

So, if your pick in the next to last race is a late scratch and you have had to do something associated with real living, you get disqualified for failing to wager your full $100. Who comes up with these chicken**** rules?
