Dell, I don't know if this group is all "contested" out (is that a word?) but if you run one here, I'd offer up a $20 win ticket on the BC race of choice to the highest upinclass score going into the BC with the proviso that if its a winner, half the winnings go to the Exceller fund (is that still the best horseracing charity?).

Go for it Dell!!!!

Thank you for the sponsorship, 'shoes... very much appreciated!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE...
(after my RTTR this year ~ Badactor LAST ~ I'm gonna need alotta luck!)

I am in! I was a little disappointed when I entered my stable and couldn't pick Santa Teresita!!!!

Interesting game and curious about why some of the races they chose to use as scoring races are here and why others are not. I view this as a 2 part contest and you just have to hope you chose your stable correctly.

Should be a lot of fun and best of luck to everyone with the action starting today!

looks like i am the leader on first day.

Notice that the CONTEST for the 56 races for the WIN YOUR IN CONTEST begins art the OFFICIAL BREEDERS CUP 'SITE' on JULY 3 RD....LOL...AND the BEAT THE HANDICAPPER CONTEST begins a couple of days latter...LOL...BOTH ARE SOMETHING 'I' 'AM' LOOKING FORWARD TO...LOL..WITH THE 56 RACES 'ONE' SELECTS OR TRIES TO SELECT THE WINNER FOR SOME REALLY GREAT PRIZES...AND IN THE SECOND CONTEST AS WELL...good luck to all entering...lol..

'p's' 'i'm' AT 30 POINTS AND AM WAITING FOR THE grade 1 races to commence before picking the 'jocks' & 'trainers'...lol..but wonder why 'they' listed WAR PASS and then found 'him' to be retired...TWO WEEKS INTO THE 'CONTEST AND 'THEY' CHANGED THE 'COMMENT' to 'as' 'he' may be 'back'...lol...so that leaves 9 'nags' to compete with...tvg as well..'they'
should REMOVE the DEAD and RETIRED 'nags'...lol...saves on the 'home-work'...and 'they' should ADD the UP-AND-COMING >>two year olds...lol...

Was wondering the same thing, elk...especially with Student Council and Heatseeker both in my stable. Oh well...

I figured this one was going to be a big part of my stable!

Dell my friend, I always applaud your honesty and intergity. The 00 Badactor reminds me of the former Raiders center Jim Otto. I am curious what freakin' horses did u pick? Did you go to the nostalgia section and pick Secretariat, Seattle Slew or maybe Cougar II? Share some of your selections and I promise no laughter or mocking, but there may be snickering ------- your pal, Keppel

nice reference to Jim Otto Greg, part of that great Raider's tradition of O-lineman.

'shoes

Shoes,

Always respected the Raiders and loved that they thumped the Eagles 27-10 in SB XV.

Next month, in the FIRST week, 'one' will be able to ADD 4 'nags'...LOL...

Don't forget to add those 4 nags!

Thank you for the reminder to ADD 4 to our stables, bpiets.
Maybe this is the week badactor finally gets on the score board.

Hey Dell,

Nothing like misspelling your name with all the excitement getting points. We are all very very proud of you! - Greg

I am Humidified!

LOL. YouBet I'm excited... badcactor is about to pass ottis & elk!

I believe that's UIC member Jerry Hauck (De Niro) tied for the lead. Must be the water 'round here or something...

5 races into this weekend and i have no horses running.. that's a shame. i don't know why races from England mattered in the BC. and to make things worse, i wasnt even aware of foreign races

Cruz, I thought that I might be able to catch you this weekend, since you didn't have any horses running and I had three (Gio Ponte, Unridled Belle and Little Belle). It would have taken two firsts or else a first, a second and a third. When Gio Ponte could only manage a second yesterday, the pressure was really on today in the Juddmonte Spinster. Alas, neither of my runners did what was needed of them, so my bid to catch you is over. The only races left are the 4 Breeders Cup races.

My congratuations to you on putting together such a strong stable and showing your heels to the rest of us. Very well done.

I appreciates the compliment Jolyb.
The new leader is still catchable by me. LOL.
It was my understanding that the new supplement started today, which includes the jokeys and trainers. that has yet to be seen.
My goals are to remain in the lead here and in Trackchampion, and to catch the leader in the "PAY TO PLAY".
This is by far my best performance ever, including "ROAD TO THE ROSES".

The supplement list is up now.

Don't give up any secrets...
but which runners are "possibles"
for the final four contest races?

I have all of them.LOL.

The Bloodhorse website has a very informative section on the BC races. If you click on the link below, it will get you to the section. There, you will see ways to get to each inividual race, where profiles of contenders are avilable. Steve Haskin also has several informative articles, including a recent one discussing where such notable Euros as Henry the Navigator or Raven's Pass might be entered. Worth reading.

Way to go, JolyB!

Thanks very much, Dell. But I didn't come close to either DeNiro or John Halvorsen in the overall standings.

These contests where you need to create stables far in advance can lead to unexpected results. During the final stable additions, I added two Euros that I thought would be standouts in the Mile - Raven's Pass and Henry the Navigator. Funny how things work out. :->

I just realized I had offered a $20 win bet to whomever was leading going into the Cup- who was that? I'll still belatedly offer a bet for an upcoming stake.

'shoes

that would be me. i was leading until after the BC was over.

Thanks for coming forward. I'll place a $20 win bet on the horse of your choice this weekend provided twinspires offers at least phone wagering for me (which I think is most tracks. If you could post first thing sat morning that would be great. My original offer stipulated that half of any winnings go to a horseracing charity but because of my error in overlooking this you will not need to share winnings. I'll match the 20 with 20 more and give all of that to charity.
