Also Eligibles List

Says that the field is limited to 12 on an oversubscribed field of 15, but there are only 2 horses on the AE list when there should be 3. Checked on multiple browsers, same issue.

It's odd. There are 13 horses actually "entered" for the 12 horse limit, and then has the 2 AE.

This does look a little odd. But here is the situation.
The waitlist priority is determined by the horse's "points".
The race is sponsored by a player.
There are at least 12 horses with higher points than the horse entered by the sponsor of the race. It wouldn't be fair to sponsor a race, and then have your horse waitlisted. So horses entered by the sponsor automatically stay in the race. This is why there are 13 entries in this 12 entry race. What we probably show do is put the next lowest points horse on the waitlist to reduce the field back to 12. But for now, this is how it works.

Another Example:
For fun, I sponsored a million dollar race -- Here Comes the Sun.
I entered a coupled entry that are both big long shots. So this 14/12 race is really 14/13.

Note: I am happy with a field of 13 -- "the more the merrier".
