Here we go, boys. We got about a month to the big day, and with that day comes the second annual Breeders Cup handicapping contest.

Here are the rules, for those that didn't participate last year...

1) You get $1,000 for the entire day that can be bet any way you wish, but it MUST be used. No winning Final Jeopardy-style.

2) The deadline for entries is one hour before post time for the Distaff. If your picks are not submitted by then, they will not be accepted.

3) I'll cut this contest off at 30 people. Once I get 30 in, entries will close. Three spots are reserved (Me, Valuist, and Derek), so 27 are left.

4) Have fun!

Gentlemen, punch your tickets into the contest.

If it weren't for the guys that finished ahead of me, I would have won the whole thing last year!:rolleyes:

Not me, but good luck; the track should cooperate this year for straight-up best capping.

What a way to close entries, with last year's winner getting the last spot.

Entries are now closed. I might be starting up an also-eligible list, in case anyone drops out. Thanks to everyone for showing your interest for the second straight year. If anyone has any questions, just talk to me, and I'll answer them.

Are you going to make a early line like last year???


No C.J. you will be missed. Are you feeling all right?

And that is called work for him :)

I think he did have to go out of town over the weekend, so he should be back soon.

I'm back, rough weekend in Amsterdam. Put me on the AE list in case a spot opens!

keilan

Why is it that everyone that comes back from Amsterdam had a rough weekend? :D :D

Bubbles
09-27-2004, 02:59 PM
Must be the wooden shoes. :D :) ;) :p

How about getting a couple of volunteers to help you score the contest and let anybody in who wants to play. The BC is a big deal and one day thing. I'm sure there would be several people, myself included, who would be happy to help you score the contest. You would sure make some horseplayers happy.

cj
09-28-2004, 03:21 PM
Hey bubs,

I'll help with the scoring if you let more in, including me. Can't believe you reserved a spot for that non capper D2U and I'm out in the cold :confused: :confused: :confused: !

Bubbles
09-28-2004, 04:10 PM
This IS a one-day thing, meaning more people can enter. I just don't want to get it out of control. I'll extend it to 40 entrants, but no more. Therefore, Skanoochies, cj, BIG RED, gene, and Kingfin66 are in, and five more spots are left.

Thanks to all for the offers to help with scoring, but because it's a one-day contest, I've got it covered.

I'll take a shot if a spot is still open.

I'm in unless a small fee can be arranged by my fellow competitors to keep me on the sidelines :D

BIG RED
09-28-2004, 05:23 PM
TOM will pay you :D :D

kingfin66
09-28-2004, 06:04 PM
Awesome! I was actually in with the first 30, but hate to see people get excluded, especially regulars.

Richard

If it's not too late,I once again throw my hat into the ring if you all will have me.
