To quote Trevor Denman "They would need to sprout wings to catch" .....me

Assuming Price Tag doesn't win, and Curlin doesn't get hurt before the Ark Derby, it will probably take some magic for anyone other than the 2nd, 3rd, or 5th place guy to beat me.

LOL, yes, thats true! Kinda looking forward to starting over with the summer/fall game (assuming they have one and TVG is even still around then!)

I got my times mixed up and missed the deadline for Friday night, but my horses for Friday all kicked butt, so I did make points. I would have gotten points for Cowtown,Boboman,AGS and Silver Wagon. I am 11th in the 3yr old contest though. I am sure that will not last long so I gotta gloat now.lol

The Curlin win was key for me...it gives me a 100 point cushion. I hope I don't choke....

I'm in 128th place in the 3yo contest, but I still have 11 moves left. I wasn't smart enough to use Domincan today...I think I could make a run into the top 10 or 20, but winning will probably be tough.

Nice work in the regular contest. I'm sitting in 27th in the 3yo contest with 7 moves left. Most ahead of me have used up almost all their moves so I like my chances.

I do like the normal fantasy contest more than the 3 year old contest but both have been a lot of fun toward free money.

Looks like the leaders of the 3yo fantasy either didn't know the 16 move rule or just figured they would gain enough ground to not matter. Sniper is somewhere in the 20-30 range , so I guess I'll just root for him and hope I somehow pull it back together in the main contest and get out of these horrid 60's.

Thanks.

I'm 80 points behind you in the 3yo one, so, I basically need to make each extra move to be worth 20 points to catch you. Which is very do-able, but I have a really bad feeling with this years 3yo crop. You're probably in a better spot than me.

I've actually almost convinced myself that I will be betting Any Given Saturday in the Derby.....which only underlines how bad of a gauge I have on these 3yo colts right now.

Yeah, I really think both of them are a lot of fun....and there is a good mix of handicapping and strategy involved.

I hope they continue them......the way TVG is losing tracks....they might not even be around that much longer.

Between these contests and the production they've put together for the Keeneland meet I'd really hate to see them go...

I agree.

However, I wouldn't exactly mind seeing Poly-track at KEE go.

Call me crazy but capping Keeneland yesterday was actually the most fun I've had capping in a while. Of course after Aqueduct on Wood day I think anything would have seemed fun.
