I am not sure if it is a glitch on the site, but after entering one's stable, it doesn't allow you to go back and look at them. If you enter more than 5, you will be automatically disqualified so be sure to keep track.

I think I lost count and entered 6

By far the most user-unfriendly contest website I've ever encountered. Managed to get two stables in, one of which was a "default" stable of the 1st horse listed SIX TIMES! You'd think they would have a pop-up telling you that there is an error in your picks.

Looks like they came up with this at the last minute, and it's probably full of bugs.

Wanted to go in this evening to put up three more stables, but it's not letting me.

Deadline was yesterday for some strange reason, and they didn't even have all the horses that are headed to the derby available to pick.

Oh well, it is what it is and let's just hope one of us can win it.

Good Luck Mike

The standing were supposed to be posted the day after major races, said a mass e-mailing would go out. I noticed,too, that some horses were not available (like Departing from the La. Derby). I think they closed the selection process on a Thursday because of that Saturday morning screw up they had lasat year to start off the contest. Remmeber, due to a glitch they had to allow a whole 'nother selection process a week later.

Rather than have five stables of only 6 horses, I wish we could have only one stable, but 10 horses like the old days

Finally see the standings.

Highest = 17th

Lowest = 26th

Something has to be wrong with that..

Like I posted above, this has to be the most poorly devised on-line contest going. Must be run by rank amateurs. The guy in the lead has a stable consisting of VERRAZANO six times, as I understand.

I inadvertently entered a stable of the same horse six times also; should have known there was a glitch (or at least something they didn't think of) at that time.
