Yes, I'll admit I didn't like that format at all. Anyone choosing to bet value had an excellent chance of ending up at zero in the short run.

I think I'll be taking a pass on this one too. Assuming this is another 10 day contest, the outcomes will be based on so few races, it's all too random.

Gulfstream R6 #8 Atwell to win ;) one of two speed horses in the race-- an E/P horse drawn just outside the lone E horse... that's good right? 1 1/8 m Al n2L -- hmmm....maybe I'll make a real bet!! :D

I am now back in the saddle! Good job Rookie.

Moreapplauseplease(GP 1st)-not a big payoff but the win is what counts, runs off by 7 lengths.

[ryesteve]

not a big payoff but the win is what counts
:confused:
Maybe I'm misinterpreting the rules, but it sounds like the contest is based on the single highest payoff, not cum; in other words, if you hit 10 winners like this that pay $3.20, and someone else hits one winner than pays $9.60, he wins.

Rookie - January? Am I correct in assuming that you meant February? If so, perhaps the contest length of 26 days will be more to RyeSteve's liking.

Today's Selection:

Gulfstream Race 5

#5 Max's Beau (ML 10-1) $2 WIN

Why? Looks to be a decent value play in this rather large and contentious field. Ranks #2 in Prime Power only .9 points from top. Gets services of 20% jock Manoel Cruz. Trainer has positive ROI for 07-08 season and has positive ROI's for turf starts and with beaten fav's last race.

Max's Beau is shortening up in distance today to 5 Fur where his chances for success are greater. His last effort on turf was 3 races back at 1 Mile 1/16. He led most of the race before succumbing and finishing a well beaten fourth, 7 lengths back at odds of 65-1.

Best of Luck Today Everyone!

This one was in my virtual stable and it won as I thought but if you want me to play the longshots I'm good with that.

Nice hit!

[sally]

Rook....I like this new contest, especially if it's about catching a longshot--and if people could give their reasons for a pick beforehand like Makinit did that would be even better, although I know a lot of folks don't like doing that--:)

I was just trying to figure out if I was misunderstanding the rules.

I was just trying to figure out if I was misunderstanding the rules.
I think the rules are similar to Burger King there are none. The object is to hit the highest paying horse based on a Win Place or Show bet. This is very similar to taking the Whopper away(which is the favorite) and trying something else on the menu, like the grilled chicken sandwich which I believe is somewhere around 7-1 as far as food favs go at Burger King.
