These contests are indeed fun to enter but also frustrating at the same time regarding some of the unplayable races that are usually included in the contest. Most of these races I would pass and not bother with if taking the plunge with my own cash. The cap limit on W-P-S is a great idea and hey, it's a free contest so I'm in again on this. Good luck to all.

Hey Jimnancy your sitting at 136 that's great. Super job keep up the great work. I'm only about 2,000 spots behind you. :lol: Only price horse in the contest races I see is R4 I have Pass the Deck.

Also Allamerican Inca and Bestofjoel but those should be well bet.

jimnancy
06-09-2012, 04:02 PM
Mel,

Only having two racing days a week helps keeping that shoe. Also we dont have the 2yr old trotters yet.
You know the winner of this contest will hit that 30 or 40 to 1 shot and when you go looking for that horse your shoe is in danger.

Thanks for the support
Jim

A contestant, DarinZoccali ranked 224th ($135.70) has 7 horseshoes.

Clever hacker or not-so-clever 123racing.com programmer? :p

melman
06-17-2012, 10:40 AM
Ray you do know who Darin Zoccali is don't you? He is the track handicapper for the BigM. He does the race reviews handicaping section. If the contestent using his name is not really him then he cannot win the contest. Maybe someone pulling a joke on him. If it is him it's a poor joke as he cannot win.

Ray2000
06-17-2012, 11:02 AM
Name sounded familiar but I guess I wasn't awake.

Makes sense now, in-eligible but many shoes so he won't tap out and people can follow. :blush:

I would rather follow that old geezer heyheyitsray. :) Let's give him 8 horseshoes. :)

jimnancy
06-17-2012, 11:32 AM
Maybe you should earn another shoe everytime you go 3 for 3 Ray. By my count you would have 2 extra shoes now.:ThmbUp: :ThmbUp: :ThmbUp:

Ray2000

Particularly because I, like many players will be changing tactics from safe to risky, come mid-July.

Hey, I lost my horseshoe. I picked :1a: , but I didn't get credit when :1: came in third. :(

Then I went with Jack Baggitt, and he faded at 2/1 !!!

jimnancy
06-24-2012, 09:15 PM
Toetoe, I think i remember in the rules you have to pick the right horse and you dont get both entries when coupled. That being said it just dosen't seem right not to get both.

I kept my shoe last night but lost ground. Still kicking myself when I first looked at saturday's pp I picked Tyree in the 9th. Then I took another look and couldn't pull the triger. That cost me $37 in contest winnings.

Good Luck

Checkeye, it's up to you.....GL



and oh yes, the grey ghost, I've always had a thing for great trotters.

It was my first visit to a harness track when I saw Speedy Somolli with Howard Beissinger go by in a warm up mile barely making a sound, just poetry in motion.

35 years later and I'm still hooked.

Well Ray we have 3 less races to look at Friday. It was fun while it lasted, funny we both went down on the same day.

If I can end on evan ground with you on any contest Ray I know It was a good contest. Good luck with all your picks.

Pressure is on! At this point I won't catch up so I'm just going to try and survive until the end. Having said that I will not resort to the favorites, just continue to pick the horses I like. Only about a half dozen days to go...time flies when you're having fun!

Thanks!

Tonight:

Race 7 :: :1: Do Me Honor

Race 8 :: :3: Fashion Blizzard

Race 9 :: :7: Scary Good

If I get these three right, I'll be angry I didn't play the pick 4!

Do Me Honor raced strong for a win, Fashion Delight raced to make the final? Could be a good bet next week, and Scary Good was parked the mile. I thought to to with Big Sky Hurricane, the winner in the last leg, but I'm partial to Antonacci especially with Tetrick. Tonight I go with

Race 7 :: :8: Roackaroind Sue
Race 8 :: :4: Gym Tan Laundry
Race 11 :: :4: Voice of Truth

Soul Survivor!!!!

Squeaked by last night with a third place finish in the final leg. I'm lucky I got my picks in though! Realized late that I hadn't picked anyone. Tonight I'm going with Ice Machine, Evening Job, and Most Happy Keene. I switched from Lanson to Ice Machine, and from Dragon King to Most Happy Keene. One or both will come back and haunt me, I know it!

Side note! :: I liked Evening Job last week and he was at big odds and finished second just missing. I've watched him be parked the mile twice now and finish strong and right there. Seems to love the Meadowlands. With a smoother journey he can win, no doubt in my mind.

Good thing I switched! Didn't bite me today, it helped! $88 to win for Most Happy Keene, but I didn't have it IRL!!! Still a thrill, lol. I have Starglow, Prestigiditator, and Bettor Sweet on Hambo Day. Good luck to all on a fantastic card!
