I don't like that there's only 23 races over less than 2.5 months to determine a winner of a contest that will get several thousand entries.

Why not start it on Jan 1st?

[Arletta]

Like it or not, your still going to play right?

This is the spreadsheet I am using to keep track of nominees. Shared it out in case it helps people select their stable

Remember folks, you can select a 4th stable now, one that begins this weekend. No need to have Out Of Bounds, Algorithims, etc.

This week you can add 3 horses to each stable. Very important for those who have seen some of your horses such as Out of Bounds fall off the trail. Good Luck with those picks all!

[Mike]

I'm going to wait, as you need to add the three horses all at once. I was hoping we could spot pick the three over the next two weeks.
I might have to wait until the night before the Wood Memorial and Santa Anita Derby,so that by then I hope to know who will be pretty much lined up for the Arkansas Derby and Bluegrass the following weekend. However, with Alpha's departure from the La. Derby, I only have Discreet Dancer in 2 of my 4 stables. I'm not so confident of him, so I'd like to see Cigar St. get in after a good workout tomorrow afternoon.

[FATPIANO]

concentrate on the Grade 1 races for your 3 ad ons.

[rpncaine]

Glad you posted this. I wasn't aware that you had to add all three at once! I'm waiting too. Can't believe the Spiral or Sunland will produce much this year.

[Mike]

Went The Day Well's win today was huge victory for me today. I have him in 2 of the original 3 stables (though not the additional stable). From here, he goes to the Bluegrass.

[rpncaine]

Maybe I was wrong. Went the Day Well could be a threat.

[Mike]

I'm going to pick up three new horses for 2 of my 4 stables. The other two, I need to save the picks for a few Grade I's (to make sure I have at least two options in each of the Grade I preps coming up).
I'm in a position to select two horses running in the Louisiana Derby, Mark Valeski and Cigar Street. The other hole I need to fill is the Bluegrass, and as an option to Hansen, I've picked Drill. At least he's committed to the race, not so sure about Hansen.

Instead of Drill, I might substitute Attenborough (planning to run in the Bluegrass) in my other two stables. He would definitely stand out as a longshot it leapfrog me if he wins it
