Hey keith70 and others...
Sorry about the delay as I've had lots going on in my personal life but will get back with you soon. As of late, I've been busy preparing for recent contests. I have a group of fellow CT users who I ocassionally send emails to in the spirit of giving them my experiences with CT. Below is an email I just sent out tonight:
Hi All....
Thanks for those who have sent emails asking how I faired in the NHC (DRF/NTRA) contest this weekend at Red Rock Hotel in Vegas.
302 fellow horseplayers tried for the 1st place 500k. Given that this year was my second year competing, I felt a bit more calm/confident and observed a bit more.
Here's what I learned:
1.) CT still rocks.......I came in 53 out of 302...close, but no payday as $ only goes to the top 30 - I needed another 20 bucks or so

2.) The top 2 handicapping software products appeared to be HTR and Thoroughgraph (sp?)
3.) CT Tip - Pay very close attention when the top "FT" is 200+ over the next closest horse. I caught "Tackleberry" (25 to 1) in the Gulfstream Sunshine Million Classic. Tackleberry had a 482 FT, almost 300 more than the next choice!!!!!!!
4.) The NHC players seem to fall into 3 categories: 1.) Professional Handicappers, 2.) Big mouth, classless Handicappers who like to brag and 3.) Handicappers who just got lucky to qualify
5.) There are cheaters - Amongst the 302 players, there are about 10 married couples - really?....I sat close to a #2 Handicapper (see above) who worked with his wife each race picking different horses in races to better their odds as any money won flows to the same household. In this case, the guy did finish in the top 30. I considered talking to a NTRA official, but the guy is a very well know player so I decided just to keep my mouth shut - for now
Okay....I'm staying in Vegas for the Superbowl and then heading back to Virginia for a couple of weeks then back to Vegas to play in the World Series of Handicapping at the Orleans
Hope all are well....take care
Lindsay
