I don't think I will get beat up this month, as bad as I thought I might going into last weekend.

The Latent Heat guy with multiple entries seems to have guessed right, Frankel is now intending to run him in the San Carlos--and probably will unless he gets an unfavorable weight assignment---or the horse doesn't come into the race doing outstanding.

I think I recall seeing Latent Heat worked in the last few days. Nice job in 6th...I'm at 71 or so with only one horse left to run in the month and she'll probably get her butt handed to her by Pussycat Doll.

I don't think Pussycat Doll was nominated to the Fritchie at Laurel, I think she might be staying home this weekend

Hopefully that means good things for Silmaril.

725 in the two leagues I didn't change my lineup that one day which puts me in 91st. 935 in the one I did change that would put me just behind Drugs in 7th. I have Siren Lure, Ah Day, Einstein and Dreadnaught left this month.

A lot of people didn't really understand how you can completely change your lineup each month, therefor took horses the first month that didn't even race

That is what has me so far back. I set my stable and didnt bother to read the dang rules. Oh well I guess that is what I get huh? And I also didnt realize that this month you could have switched your horses twice, once at the start of the month and then right after all the big races on Sat. Double crap. Now that is what I get for not paying attention I guess.

Pussycat Doll wasn't supplemented to Saturday's Grade 2 Barbara Fritchie at Laurel---which should make Silmaril's job a little easier.

I made one mess up, it was between Jan 2nd-to-Jan 5th, which probably cost me only 20 or 30 points max....but after I saw my ranking falling, I started to realize you could make day-to-day changes before the 5th of the month.

Luckily for me, there weren't many points to be gained at that time. Mostly jockey and trainer points, and one "Grade 2 category" horse ran 2nd in a 65K AQU stake.

I think March is going to be the month where things really get shaken up.
Even if you were slow to start, the lack of Graded Stakes races in JAN and FEB made it difficult to make progress. It seemed everyone had nearly the same stable of G1 horses, and a few in the G2 group as well.

By my count, there's seven..... yes seven Gr 1 or II races the weekend of March 3rd (during the all important add/drop period) and nearly 40 graded stakes races for the entire month of March.
No longer will you see so many people with the similar stables.
Plenty of opportunities to move up or down.
