Del Mar Summer Online Contest 2017

I'm currently at -$100. Gave it a shot the first day, then balked the rest of the week because the contest manager keeps picking turf races.

I know it shouldn't be a complaint. Horse racing is about dirt and turf handicapping. But I've played this contest every summer for years, and I'm convinced it's 80% turf races. They didn't even use the San Diego H. (I would have made a $100 show bet on Accelerate).

Well, who's playing? Post your picks below?

I imagine it's mostly turf because of full fields. The San Diego would have been a terrible race to use.

I was surprised that they went with exacta bets this time. The guy that is leading hit a $100 cold exacta on the first race for $7k+. I finally made it to the black today with a win bet on #1 and a 1&5 exacta.

Not sure of the strategy with the exactas. They throw a monkey wrench into the whole contest.

I think you almost have to bet exactas to try and catch up. I missed the first week, forgot all about it. Started this week but haven't made much money, still trying to figure out what I should bet.

I've been betting $100 to win on for every turf race lol. I'm currently at -$90.

The exception was my $100 win bet on Roy H, which I was cheated out of after the riderless Drefong carried him wide.

Well, if my strategy takes me anywhere, I might handicap the last week or so for real.

Almost ready to give up, but let's try Majestic Heat over Qiaona and Lynne's Legacy.

Most of the races are ones that I would not play.
