Create your own fantasy stable for a chance to win some cool prizes. 2 Contests club.godolphin.com/exclusive-competitionsNot sure the start date because the ones they list are for 2020 but I assume Dubai cup racing first week of January 2021...

Received a message from Godolphin today that said "create your stable now". But why would anyone want to do that until the entries for the first of the Dubai World Cup Carnival meetings on January 21 are available? With only 8 contest race days and 5 stable change opportunities, I plan to tailor my stable with horses that I know have been entered just as much as possible, with an emphasis on the major races with higher point value.

I imagine this is the stable selection strategy that most will be deploying.

Lots of overlap between stables, especially at the beginning. Picking up extra points in Bonus Races will be important as will be the future stable changes.
Lots of luck to all who have entered.

I screwed up first week. Didn’t read rules correctly. Thought 5 swaps meant 5 horses in total , not you could swap out all ten , five times. Did better this week.

Since there are 6 race days remaining and I have 4 swaps left, my challenge will be to figure out on which 2 days NOT to swap the entire stable. Have not been very successful in the quest for bonus points - only hit 1 of them. Rank 143 with 2220 points.

I was tempted to pass this week but went ahead and swapped anyway. Still have to determine which two weeks should be passed.
We are pleased to confirm you have successfully swapped your Fantasy Stable. The horses you have chosen are: • Dubai Future (GB) • Final Song (IRE) • First Smile (IRE) • Ghostwatch (IRE) • Last Sunset (IRE) • Man Of Promise (USA) • Moonlight Spirit (IRE) • Naval Crown (GB) • Ottoman Court (GB) • Volcanic Sky (GB)
All fairly obvious choices.

68th place Diablo313 2960 (but that is with some of today's results -I think I was around the 275 mark last night)
I did make another swap (3 left) but only took 6? runners this week with a hope I guessed right on a couple to run next week when I plan my first pass....totally agree with Jolb, gotta figure out the bonus races, don't think I've grabbed any in the 3 years of the contest, and I don't think u can win without
• Dubai Future (GB) • Final Song (IRE) • First Smile (IRE) • Ghostwatch (IRE) • Land Of Legends (IRE) • Last Sunset (IRE) • Loxley (IRE) • Naval Crown (GB) • Volcanic Sky (GB) • Well Of Wisdom (GB)

This is my week to pass. Only 2 runners in one of the Group 2 races [2nd and 3rd choices] and none in the other. Every other entrant is in the lowest scoring race class. Perhaps there will be a bonus race to try.
