The best-bred and fastest-working juveniles in the game have all been unleashed on the SIM, and they have posted high speed figures and excessive winning margins. What does this have to do with the Year 31 Louisville Derby?
Well, in Year 28, 70% of the 20 runners had broken their maidens by Week 10 Friday, and 80% by Week 11 Friday. In Year 29, 80% of the runners had won by Week 10 Friday, and 90% by Week 11 Friday. That means we can guess that nearly all of next year's Derby field is already out there somewhere. There are already 1,000+ juveniles that have won this year. Can you pick out the 20 that will make it to the Derby?
Think of this as a year-out Triple Crown Trail where you pick all 20 horses. You must make your selections by Wednesday, July 27 at noon Pacific.
EMAIL (use the contact us link on every SIM page) me with your 20 Derby horses in alphabetical order for NEXT year. For every horse you have on your list that ends up in the race, you will get a point. Whoever gets the most points, there is a pot of 40,000 Game Points waiting. It will be divided amongst multiple winners if there are any.
Don't forget to check out fillies and horses entered for Week 12!

Re: Steward's Year 31 Derby Contest
I'm sure you're busy but when you announce the winner(s) will you list the top 10-20 people? I know I didn't win it but I'd like to know where I ranked. Thanks!

Re: Steward's Year 31 Derby Contest
Massive congratulations go out to Ms. LAURA SMITH!!! She won the Derby contest with 13!!! of the 20 picked.
Laura Ferguson and Paul Heinrich both had 12 each - there was a long time while going through that I thought they were going to be joint winners.
There was one 11 and a large smatterings of 10.
Good job Laura Smith!!
