Unless there is a stallion in the goodie bag I wouldn’t be worried about any tax liability.

If Godolphin sends me a 1099-MISC for my 2022 prize package, I'll post about it here. I'd say the value of what they awarded was between $300-$500...

I found this table very handy for stable swap planning last season: dubairacingclub.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/DWCC%20Program%202023.pdfStill waiting for some news features about Charlie Appleby and Saeed bin Suroor, and their Meydan runners for 2023. Once the jump racing Festive Season quiets down after Jan. 1st in UK/IRE, we should get some stories written previewing the Dubai Carnival. TW

Both of your questions may be answered by "yes". If a horse is swapped out, you keep the points it has earned while in your stable. And, there is no limit on the number of times that a horse may be added back in. Using the swaps wisely is important, since it counts as a single swap whether you change only one or all ten of your horses.
Don't forget to play the bonus races when they are offered. As you might imagine, lots of players will have many of the same horses in their stables on any particular race day, so getting points in the bonus races can make a great difference in the standings.
Best of success with your stable.

After day one, it looks like jolyb is tops among UIC players, sitting tied for eighth (with about 100 of his new friends) at 1010 points. Arsignman is tied for 146th (810 points), along with tc (funkymonkey), cherokeescot (HotScot Racing Stable), & turfeyejoe. Badactor is tied for 644th with 610 points. I'm (10 furlongs) tied for 820th at 410 points.
The overall leaders are at 1290 points, having scored with the only five Godolphin runners to earn points today, plus 400 in bonus points.
Racing resumes next Friday, Jan. 13th, what could possibly go wrong there?

It was a tough day for the top Godolphin runners. Walk of Stars was off the board at even money; Courageous Knight also off the board at even money; Noble Truth off the board at 1-2 and Man of Promise could only manage a second to his stablemate Lazuli at 4-5.

Entries are out for day two. 15 Godolphin runners across the four turf races, with four runners in the Group II stake. I had been angling to not make a stable swap this week, as I got one into the GII with my original stable, but I think I'd be giving away too much ground to the leaders in the other races, unless I handicap that most of them will run out. If you presume that you'll need to make two swaps at the end, for Super Saturday and World Cup cards, then you have three swaps to make over seven weeks. Tough choices. dubairacingclub.com/sites/default/files/2022-11/DWCC%20Program%202023.pdfPOINTS Race type 1st 2nd 3rd
Group 1 500 400 300 Group 2 400 300 200 Group 3 300 200 100 Listed 250 160 80 All other races 120 80 40 TW
