Please select 1 horse from each of the 5 races listed below. The rules and format are listed under the post "New Weekly Handicapping Contest". Please keep in mind Sim entries do not close until Friday so if you post your picks before then there is a chance a new horse can enter or scratch. <span style='color:blue'>ALL picks must be submitted before Friday's post time for Sim racing.</span> You don't need to be a handicapper to enter; pick names, numbers, whatever. And there is no fee or anything play. Betting is encouraged on the simraces but not required.

Real Life Races:

1. United Nations Stakes G1- Monmouth Park <a href='http://www.drf.com/row/pps/08MTHunitednation.pdf' target='_blank'>DRF PP's</a>

If you have any questions please PM me. If you don't like my race selections also PM me, I'm still new so don't know if there are any races that the Sim considers big aside from the Derby and Stewards Cup races. I tried to pick competitive races not necessarily large fields.
