Moved up to 52nd...not sure how much the point positioning will change through the month as it seems most in the Top 50 have the same horses give or take a Scat Daddy or an Adore the Gold. Leah's Secret is the biggest hope I have to make a move...Go Girl Go!

Obrigado to Dubai. Wonderful, he was one I was counting on to take down that G2 and give me some points that most ahead of me wouldn't get.

I'm relying on Noble Court and Notable Guest to make up any ground.

I'm 48th but everyone has the same horses....

I am hoping for Jambalaya to help me make up ground. I took a shot that he will enter into the Pan American.

Is there a DT league here for the 3 year old challenge game coming up on the 31st?

No DT league as of yet, but I'm sure someone will set something up.

April is going to be a strange month for this contest. For the first time, there's literally no stakes races bring run within the first 5 days of the month that qualify (Sunday's races on April 1 won't count unless a horse is running that you already had in your stable from March).

Everyone will be well aware who is running in all the G1 derby preps, but if you choose wrong, you could be in trouble. Lots of big (non derby prep) races at Aqueduct, Keenland and Oaklawn this month, too.

I went from having a 7 point lead going into March to having a 6 point lead going into April. The 2nd place guy didn't use Round Pond---if she didn't tank I would be in great shape. The 3rd place guy is over 100 points back.

I liked Ketchican A LOT more than Circular Quay in the LA Derby---but, because of the styles of the two horses, I went with the tact of using CQ and not Ketchican---and making Al Stall my secondary trainer. However, I think it might have been a moot point, as Ketchican might not have been available. Anyway, it worked out for me.

In the 3-year-old contest, I had an excellent start---the only two horses I used last week were Scat Daddy and Notional---and I used Street Magician's trainer as my secondary trainer.

Hopefully I can win them both.

You're getting NO sympathy from me! Nice job...I've been hanging on 50th or so place for so long I might have to change my stable name to Dynever.

Thats great! Jambalaya did move me up to 17th. I know I am too far behind to win, but if I finish in the top 10, Ill be thrilled.

In the 3 yr old contest, I think I already made a mistake with my stable and have to decide to burn an "add" for a horse I want for this weekend. Its a challenge to be thinking about conserving the "adds" you can make until June 9th!
