TVG Fantasy Contest

[mbahadur]

Does anyone have any word if and when the TVG Fantasy contest will start back up leading to the 2009 Breeders Cup?

This is the best on-line horse racing fantasy contest I have seen (they NYRA contest was discontinued a few years ago). Some of you on the board (Drugs) have won prizes in this contest. If TVG no longer has funding for this contest, I would welcome if they made it pay-to-play rather than not having it at all.

Churchill Downs did an on-line Road to the Breeders Cup fantasy contest last year but I have not seen anything for this year.

I've been in contact with them and they are still going to do one, just not sure when.

Nice going for 6th man.

Wonder if there is any chance this contest will start back up on the opening day of Santa Anita's winter meeting as it has the past 2 years?

Doesn't look good. They keep doing these piddily little contests that are boring and require almost pure luck to win.

You could email them though to see what's up.

I sent a personal message to the administrator on the TVG Community Forum -- he replied and was going to find out about whether this contest will ever start back up and let me know. But I agree that it is very doubtful that it will start up with the opening of the Santa Anita winter meet. They could save some money by investing in the fantasy contest with a longer duration than the contests they have been running which only last for a weekend.

Please let me know what they say, if they ever answer you.

Thanks!
