 It's that time of the year again! This game was established in 2012 and has run almost every year since. It is something that a lot of players look forward to playing and I'm thrilled that I am able to run it as a Mod this year with additional prizes!  Draw 1: 4mil Draw 2: 7mil Draw 3: 10mil Send the HPD to #113 with "TTCG DRAWS" in the reason box. When you purchase a draw, one of the horses running in the race will be chosen at random by a generator and assigned to you. You can purchase up to three draws total per race. Prizes will be rewarded to players whose horses place in the top 3 spots at the conclusion of the races. 1. Prynne sends 10mil to #113 for a Draw 3 for the Kentucky Derby. • Each draw will take into account which horses have not been drawn yet. If someone has drawn TACITUS, TACITUS will not be drawn again until all other horses have been drawn. This will ensure that at least every horse is drawn at least once.  PARTICIPATION RAFFLE: Everyone that participates in a race will earn 1 raffle ticket towards a drawing for 7,500 points for an animal. This drawing will occur after each race.  |

 You can now purchase draws for The Kentucky Derby! Post Position Draw will occur on April 30th at 11am EST. This draw determines which position each horse will start from and can be very important in determining how well a horse will run the race. For more information on the importantance of post position, click here! Morning-line (starting) odds for the race will be announced shortly after the draw. 01. Nineteen past winners have had names beginning with the letter "S," including Secretariat, the fastest horse in Kentucky Derby history, who completed the 1973 race in just under two minutes. |

There will be 3 races that comprise the Triple Crown: Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes, and Belmont Stakes. The Triple Crown is the achievement earned when a horse wins all 3 races in a row. This game will happen 3 times; once for each race. |

If anyone is on the fence about participating in the other races, I won 2 one month upgrades last year and it was a lot of fun! |

Unfortunately, Omaha Beach has been scratched from the Kentucky Derby due to breathing problems (entrapped epiglottis). Thankfully it's not career or life threatening, but it will prevent him from running in the Derby. Wishing you well, Omaha Beach! |

When I saw the news about Omaha Beach, I had to come see immediately, how this would affect the game (and me), but we're good lol!     |

Haikal has been scratched from the race due to an abscess in his left front hoof. Even though he'll miss the Derby, he'll get better with some rest. (: |
