Trying to debate if it's worth adding the Delta horses for tomorrow, then having to stay up on the East Coast to change em' AFTER they officially score.

Eh, I'm 85th. I'm out of it anyway.

All I have to say is thank goodness my boyfriend plays this as well because for the next 3 days I'll be devoted to the Contest, but those are some decent prizes to be battling for!

So I made a pretty big move into 59th, however, if I had the same points as in a private league I'd be 11th.

TVG took FOREVER to credit the stables tonight...I got my Bagdaria points, but I dropped No Sleep 40 seconds after midnight and didn't get her points....doubtful I get the points for Bayeux too now Big gamble trying to get the points tonight but it paid off pretty well with this one exception.

Anyone got any bright ideas for mapping out March?

Got some nice points yesterday (missed having scat daddy), but had Molengo, Silent Name, Bayeux, etc..
Gained some more ground today with Silver tree, Old dodge and Wait a While.
Still not quite in the top 100, but hopefully March will be a better month.

It's tough. Time to guess who is in the Florida Derby on March 31st...
There's so many G1 and G2 races left (with fields TBD) that you can either go the safe route and take obvious picks (Any given saturday in the Tampa Bay Derby) or take some chances on horses who can win G1s later in the month, but may not end up making the race.

Agreed. Or load up on the horses who are nominated and likely to run next weekend.

Three year olds are a catch 22 - you can get a good idea for where they are bring pointed (unlike some of the older horses) but any minor injury or change and you might get nothing for a whole month.

I'm not too many in front of you and still feel that we both have a pretty good shot. Not having Latent Heat at all stung, but if you look at the points, someone could make some serious ground in the Triple Crown races.

Yeah I know...I should have pulled the trigger but I have to be at work early Saturday.

I'll have to make up for it with the rest of my March picks!
