That's weird. I signed up yesterday and am around 3500. I, too, assumed they ranked you in the order you signed up.

The 2nd, 3rd and 5th most popular picks did not come in. That knocked out 1200 people right there.

886 people selected #02 Coluda in race 2

602 people selected #06 Pathfork in race 7

394 people selected #02 Clear to Canada in race 4

344 people selected #02 Leroy's Dynameaux in race 7

234 people selected #05 Hidden Blessing in race 2

196 people selected #04 Gatheratthealter in race 1

152 people selected #03 Sayif in race 7

133 people selected #04 Fabulous Fashion in race 3

128 people selected #01 Red Defense in race 7

97 people selected #03 Brass Plate in race 2

89 people selected #10 Our Heat in race 3

86 people selected #01 Best Verse in race 2

71 people selected #02 Arraignment in race 1

67 people selected #04 Temerity in race 2

64 people selected #03 Patriotic Lion in race 6

49 people selected #05 Stone Hot in race 1


From the 6571 who signed up, 2046 are still in. I'm guessing a couple of thousand forgot to pick!

The field in this will get culled quicker than the list of Republican presidential nominees, that's for sure. Hoping to make it through tomorrow.
