I thought I'd start a thread that I'll keep every week of the races that have two or less entries, since only those with three entries will go. I'll update daily (or perhaps more than that later in the week, approaching the races). Newbies as well as more experienced players who don't have the time to go through each and every race to check the number of entries might want to take advantage of this.

The code will be:
<span style='color:purple'>Two Entries</span>
<span style='color:red'>One Entry</span>
<span style='color:orange'>No Entries</span>

<span style='color:purple'>
Year 17 Week 8 Calder Race Course: Race 16 - 1 mile. "Three Ring Stakes". Turf. 3 year olds. Fillies. Stakes. Restriced to FL-Breds. Purse $100,000Year 17 Week 8 Canterbury Park: Race 2 - 4 furlongs. Dirt. 2 year olds. Maiden Claiming. Claiming price $5,000. Purse $7,500

<span style='color:red'>Year 17 Week 6 Australia: Race 3 - 1 1/4 miles. "Matriarch Stakes". Turf. 4 year olds and up. Fillies and Mares. Stakes. Purse $100,000 - Grade 2</span>

My filly Choral is currently the only filly in this race. It is a GRADE TWO STAKES for a purse of $100,000. Surely there are some players out there who would like to win a few thousand dollars? Since this is the first week in Australia there aren't many horses down there so if you enter you're pretty much guaranteed to finish in the money. Even a sprinter would still be able to pick up a check. Even a MAIDEN CLAIMER would be able to bring in some decent money. Please?
You're not getting a dead button...in fits of rage, John Slotman and Ara Davies and Jolene Danner would literally kill half their barns.

If anybody has any Cal-bred fillies or geldings, there are a couple of nice races that have ZERO entries on the turf at Golden Gate this week.

The Trial Park races are pretty full.

I edited the list in the first post as of 11:30 AM EST today. I was not able to remove ANY races from the list, so take a look at what you could enter. I even added a few races that I'd either missed or were added since yesterday. I was getting confused, so I sorted them out by number of entrants. Hopefully that will help others out who were getting as confused as me!

Would love to, but the only 3YO fillies I have went in week four. I think two weeks turnaround is probably too tight, but if you really need someone, I'll see what I can do.

Most of my fillers won't go in until Thursday... maybe with an exception to AUS or JPN.

The stakes races that need filling now might fill before then, so I'm waiting to see where my best spots will be.

Other people might be doing the same. I dunno.

I edited the list again, and decided I don't have the time to go through so many races for races which already are certainly going to go (i.e. already have three or more entries). So these are the ones that are still on the fence.
