I know some of you have done "the run for the roses" contest that steve has a group on. I am thinking of trying one of them this year. Is it fun?

[Clip-Clop]

I started it yesterday, one of my friends won it last year but couldn't go. He works for the Giants and they started training camp.

Odd that their deadline is before the Triple Crown nominations are announced. Looks like several of their offerings would have to be supplemented. Not good to include those initially.

[joeydb]

Is it hard to do? What exactly do you do in the game? I didn't see a tutorial (yet?)

[Arletta]

You just pick some horses from the list and hope they turn out to be good enough to make it.

[RockHardTen1985]

Im doing mine now, is it really totally free though? It says purchase buddy points?

[RockHardTen1985]

Im not sure if there is any great strategy to this, I put about 3 minutes into picking my team. I might use Travis website later to find out where everyone is pointing. This is my squad....

Put your team up. I want to see.
These are the type of contests Doug S aka Vic S owns.
I might toss Uncle Mo. I have to go through the rules, I did not read anything on the contest. Im going to assume everyone uses him and if he stumbles at all maybe I can get lucky.

Vic wins with a combination of hard work and research, with a big splash of blinding good luck thrown in.

If I remember correctly, this contest didn't involve an over-abundance of skill.
