That's going to be a much more challenging contest that the most recent one that was limited to the Dubai races. This seems to include any race any where so a crystal ball may be necessary equipment. I would surmise that when a stable swap is performed you will only be able to see 3 or 4 horses in an entry list and the rest will be educated guesses at best. That could make the bonus races even more important.
Best of luck to all who enter.

I will put up a $50 Otis Special Bet to the best UIC competitor.
Good luck to all.
P.s. I couldn’t see when the contest ends. Does it go up to the Breeders Cup ?

a) Members have the option to change the composition of their stable five times during the course of the competition to replace some, or all, of the ten horses in their stable or select the Lucky Dip option.
b) For the sake of clarification, each time a person changes the composition of their stable by selecting new horses is counted as a ‘swap’ regardless if the person swaps one or all ten of their horses.

Glad they clarified that as it caught me out last time . Patience will be an essential quality this time around.

The races on May 1 is only races from UK. I am thinking all races will be in Europe or japan, and Australia, none from US

The races on May 1 is only races from UK. I am thinking all races will be in Europe or japan, and Australia, none from US I don't concur with your conclusion. The terms and conditions seem to be pretty specific.
" i) The competition includes all races that take place between Saturday, 1 May and Saturday, 6 November 2021."
If any eligible horse runs in any such race it should earn points. It is possible that they haven't included horses that are stabled in Japan or Australia. I'm planning on incuding US based horses in my stable.

I think that is only because the entries haven't been drawn yet. It might be worth checking that page again after the Saturday's cards are posted.
Best of luck with your picks.

We are pleased to confirm you have successfully created your Fantasy Stable. The horses you have chosen are: • Antoinette (USA) • Endorsed (USA) • Essential Quality (USA) • Lake Avenue (USA) • Lazuli (IRE) • Master Of The Seas (IRE) • One Ruler (IRE) • Prevalence (USA) • Secret Protector (USA) • Victor Ludorum (GB)
That Stable will start me off and have runners in stakes on today's and tomorrow's cards. However, when and how I effect the stable swaps as the contest progresses is a compete mystery to me at this point. I'm sure some strategy will emerge.
Best of luck to all of you who are playing.

one of my horses ( eastern world ) was no longer in training, so they let me swap the horse out for no free.

How’s everyone doing ? After Adayar’s great win today I’m up to 67th with 7710. Forgot about the bonus race last week though . Do they send reminders ?

They do send reminders of bonus races, but the lead time isn't very long.
I picked up much needed points this morning with Adayar but am still wayyyyyy back in the pack with only 4490 points. I've only used 1 stable swap, thinking that the contest runs a long time. Made a huge mistake by not including Hurricane Lane at the outset and am paying the price for it.

10furlongs 7330 Rank 416
20th percentile is okay I guess (2800+ entries), but no chance of catching cherokeescot. Run Forrest, run!

Had both Hurricane Lane on Saturday and Native Trail in a Group 1 win at the Curragh on Sunday, but that still left me back in the pack [7530 points] and cheering the leaders on.
