Good luck to everyone in this contest.
On a related note I will not be entering the Road to the Roses (now under new management and called something else) contest this year because it is no longer free and I don't plan on re-opening my closed twinspires account.  :-X

With the watered down version of this last year, had a feeling that it would be retooled and behind a paywall. Shame, because I know lots of people who really did enjoy it in the earlier versions (me, included).

So, getting back to Winstar, how is everyone doing?  Says I am at 317- with $200K, but the first person with this amount is in position 197- perhaps at the early stages they go by when you signed up?

Post by: peeptoad on February 04, 2014, 09:38:34 AM
Well, you are far ahead of me... I only have the 50K from Uncle Sigh so far.

Ha ha. Maybe. I am a little on the fence with this one since he goes in the San Vicente next and may only get one shot at two-turns prior to the Derby. That's a big negative imo.

BTW, what TBC poster are you?

I'm The Tin Man ... sometimes still am. I'm The Tin Man on my laptop and Dance With Gable on my cellphone.

As far as TBC? I don't post there any more. Not a big fan of rudeness to others. I prefer congenial diatribe and respect towards each other. I'm glad we have that here. Its VERY refreshing.

OK, the fact that you are posting under 2 different names here is what confused me... not used to seeing that unless a person is trolling.
I don't post on TBC much anymore either... for a variety of reasons (the "rudeness" being one of them). Still post occasionally though.

Nah ... no trolling here. Actually forgot my password. That's how it started. If my computer signs me out, I may just be Dance With Gable. ;)

I decided to use Dance With Gable because he was always one of my favorites. Great warhorses who ended up giving his life on the track last year. In a way, with my username, he lives on and won't be forgotten.

Glad to see you here too!

Mainly running in circles here and now and then stopping to bang my head on the closest wall...  But, things finally slowing down here as well.

Per BH, the horse came back injured from this morning's gallop, Hollendorfer doesn't know why or what happened but the horse can't run and will have to have some time off.
