This is a trivia contest. Please do not respond to this thread with your answers. I am going to try to get a moderator to lock this thread to help keep people from posting answers here and spoiling it. Instead, please message me either in the game or through the forum with your answers. I will respond to let you know that I have your entry. Entries are due by 11pm Pacific Time on May 27th (basically Week 16, Day 3 results time).

You will get one point for each correct answer - no partial credit. The player with the most points will get $100,000. If there are a ton of tie winners, I may drop it down to $50,000 per winner, or substitute an award of game points, but let's see.

This is a mix of real life, sim/real life, and sim questions. For sim questions, if the horse was gelded post-retirement, that horse does not count as a gelding. Enjoy!
