I’ve forgotten how to nominate foals for races like the triple crown. Can someone tell me where to find info on that? I found it once last year but can’t seem to find it again. (senility setting in?)
There are a couple of different ways to get to it.
-
On the ‘Enter Race’ page, at the very top, there is a link with the words, “Some races will require you to nominate your horses.”
-
If you’re using the green foal skin, where all the links are listed on the left-hand side of your screen, the nomination page is located at ‘Race Nominations’, under the ‘Racing’ heading.
Once you get there, find the race you want to nominate for, and click the ‘Nominate’ button. A list of eligible horses will come up. Check the boxes for the horses you want to nominate, click the ‘Nominate Horses’ button at the bottom of the screen, and you’re done!
Rates will differ depending on the age of your horse. It’s cheaper to nominate weanlings and yearlings, but also more of a risk as you don’t have their race history to look at.
The info that you mentioned is located in the ‘Race Schedule’ subsection of the ‘Racing’ section of the FAQ.
