Road to the Roses game sponsored by CD

[OTM Al]

Just got an email announcement from CD that they will be again running their Road to the Roses game again this year. While not a standard handicapping contest, I seem to remember it had some decent prizes last year. If I remember right you pick a stable of horses and get points based on how they do in the derby preps. The announcement says the contest will open Feb 5, so I will post links to the site when they become available

Also hope they bring back those show contests for each cdsn track; those links all disappeared.

Site's up now. Can register Feb 5. Races that count begin the following weekend. Here's the link
