Steward's Year 39 Derby Contest!

Post by The Steward »

Every year I post this game, but participation has declined! It is getting tougher and tougher to play, but that doesn't mean it's impossible!
The best-bred and fastest-working juveniles in the game have almost 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 39 Louisville Derby?

Nearly all of next year's Derby field is already out there somewhere, having broken their maidens or run impressively in their debuts. 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 Friday, May 23rd at 12 pm 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 50,000 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 12F +W13!

Please just list the horses
Horse
Horse
Horse

Instead of saying Horse, Horse, Horse in list format, or
1. Horse
2. Horse

Just alphabetical names are better! Then I can just paste it into Excel. Thanks!
Good luck! This year's 2 year olds are INSANE!!! Last year, very few people picked Windseeker and only one or two picked Grant. Choose carefully!

I counted mine twice and came up with 8 runners.
Luckily I had Castle Keep :)
Is the glass half full? or half empty?
