Thanks for the league info K2, I'll join. I selected some rank outsiders for non-handicapping (or swami angle) reasons, in my ten horses and then made one other selection of a good horse (Etched) but a silly selection as he probably won't be running in any of the official preps. So as I understand it this year all members of a league have access to see other members' horses, and you should get a good laugh at mine.

I still have time and might put up another paid stable, but I rushed the first one to get in in time for the Risen Star - just as well since I have Pyro (who impressed me no end) and Visionaire.

Lucy, that ranking is pretty good. I was somewhere down in the 10,000 - 11,000 range last year so I'm just looking for a career best. Hpkingjr - good luck winning money, I figure I already won all I'm ever going to win when I accidentally won the Kentucky Derby leg of Darby Dan's T.C. competition last year. Still I might put up another stable now that I've thought things over a bit.

Good luck to everyone.

Is this not the most redundant comment you've seen in a long time:

War Pass -- Undefeated champion has yet to show he can be beaten.


Uh... yeah... okay.

Well, unless there's something in the Southwest, I don't have a runner this week.

Southwest is monday, not a very good grade 3 race if you ask me. the rebel on the other hand is shaping up to be a race
