Nice going man ... your six horses ran 1-2 in the Santa Anita Derby. 1-2 in the Wood. 1st in the Florida Derby and 1st in the Louisiana Derby.

It was a brilliant strategy by whoever did it, if they let it stand.

I can't imagine they will though.

"It has come to our attention that certain players of RTTR have opted
for a strategy that features the selection of one horse for multiple
positions in their stable(s). Although, CDI did not envision players
utilizing this strategy it is completely allowed under the RTTR Official Rules.

As with any product launched by Churchill Downs we are always looking for ways
to refine and improve game play for our players. Rest assured that we will
carefully assess this strategy and its place in future versions of RTTR."

Thank you ,
Customer Service

LOL!

If Verrezano finishes 3rd or better in the Kentucky Derby this guy is a lock to win it all.

Think about that for a second ... in order to win the entire contest, all he needed was for an odds-on favorite to win the Wood Memorial and for him to comeback and run 3rd or better in the Kentucky Derby.

That's what Churchill Downs gets for hiring marketing people to do something that involves common sense and an understanding of horse racing.

Churchill should at least pony up with extra prizes for those that played as the rules were intended. Pretty sure they can afford it and would appease everyone concerned.

Reminds me of the kid who exploited loop holes in the Presques Island Trifecta contest and won thousands of dollars. not to mention fed 2 homeless shelters with free hot dogs for a months.. What was the kids names?
