Re: Eclipse Awards

I would agree. But with the rules being what they are, one win is enough to give some of these Euro's the award unless a US runner is obviously superior.

And speaking of rules changes, I'd go for...

Then the title shoud be, "Bridgejumpers Are Our Buddies" since the only sure-fire way for that to work is with a minus pool.

There's a system that will take plenty of patience!

Yeah, the "tickets off the floor" scam won't work. The IRS requires records to go along with those tickets. So you'll need a log book keeping track of your wagers to support your claims.

Feel free to enlighten me but I was going by the fact that you were upset and thought the track showed no regard for fans. And then you wondered why they didn't watch the Weather Channel.
