I really don't try to be #1, heck on 1 account, someone was at 7500 within 30 minutes of it starting. I've gotten some good breeding during these contests, my latest is the Dragonfly.

Hope this helps some of you out, it may just be luck on my part.
I tried changing the wheel start position a few times in different positions and that lways got me the booby prizes, so I stopped trying. But I will try your method and see how it goes. Thanks!
