The sticky was posted about a week ago, and it says that the competition starts on May 17, but this thread says May 5. Which is right? I noticed that the other says 2012, but since you only posted it a few days ago, I'm not sure.

CONGRATS TO PA's VERY OWN
ROB MacLENNAN (maclr11)

After 25 years as the Assiniboia Downs race announcer, ASD CEO Darren Dunn is stepping aside and handing the mic to Paddock Host Kirt Contois so he can focus on the administration of the track. Moving into the role of Paddock Host is Rob MacLennan (maclr11) who assisted Kirt admirably last season.

Good luck Rob

Hey hey hey! Alright!

Now I have another reason to watch ASD all summer other than envisioning the big fella tearing up his form when Reeves or Singh runs over whoever he ends up dragging up north this year!!!

Tell Mikey to stay warm in his shorts this time of year!

Freaky has to be the cinch of the day in that spot... opening day crowd, a few fairly open races with short fields to lead in the early pick three... May have to remember to tune in to make imaginary wagers!

Have fun!!

If you only specify part of the entry, and THAT part ends up scratching out, scoring will be as follows:
-- If the remaining portion of the entry ends up meeting your parlay condition, you will be credited with a successful parlay.
-- If the remaining portion of the entry does not end up meeting your parlay condition, your selection will be scored as "no-action".

I have a question about the rules pertaining to entries. If I am reading the above right, I pick and entry and only list #1 as my pick, (1A is the other half),
are you saying that if the 1 is scratched and the 1A wins, I get credit, but if the 1A loses, it's called no action? If that is the case, It pays to simply list one horse from an entry rather than both. I must be reading this wrong so I would appreciate an explanation. Thanks.

Two races, two half-head losses for team Flacco. Someone go check on him for me.

This rule is unchanged from the previous year, and "the intent" is to protect the player from a late scratch. At the same time, your are correct that a player could manipulate a selection to get in essence a risk-free play. Should it become evident that a player was doing this, the the contest administrators could take appropriate action.

Or, if Jay thinks it is a better option, we could go ahead and change the rule now to eliminate credit for the portion of the entry one does not specify.

Kudos to Mac for taking a stand against Unbridled Thoughts at 3-5 just now. Obviously has the TuP advantage, but couldn't beat my crummy AZ homebred off a year layoff last time - may win this one, but surely shouldn't be odds-on off that effort regardless of fitness advantage.
