I am about 2,000 points behind the leader. I still have Christina Daae, D'Funnybone, Eskendereya and/or Rule, Tuscan Evening, and Zenyatta left to run in March (assuming they all stay healthy and Christina Daae runs on 3/20 or 3/27). I wonder how many stables in front of me have both Eskendereya and Rule and whether Pletcher's decision of who runs in the Florida Derby will determine who wins the March contest. DrugS looks like he is about 1,000 ahead of me since he probably had Jeranimo (good call on his 4th place finish in a 14-horse Grade 1 field).

Looks like there are some identical stables out there among the leaders where Referral points may make a difference. Also, many of the leaders have multiple stables at the top of the standings -- probably would not be in the best interest of the game if the same person won more than one prize.

I couldn't pull the trigger on Crisp in my TVG Fantasy stable, so I am well behind the leaders there. I guess I just did not see Blind Luck losing and Crisp having a shot at 60 points.

Yep. Who Pletcher runs in the Fla Derby will pretty much have a huge impact on things.

I had Crisp in 7 of 8 stables - and she was only used in 127 stables before the race and 128 after the race. I had Misremembered in 7 different stables and he was used on just 245.

If a horse like Ice Box (in just 39 stables) or Pulsion (in just 41) somehow wins the Fla Derby ... and I don't finish in the top 3 ... I will feel like I spent $86 betting on a WWF wrestling match.
