Is this where I ask a question on contest rules?
"(Should you do so, remember that the timestamp of the "edited" post must also be at least one minute before your first contest race goes off.)"
Would the time in the Equibase Chart (that gets generated an hour or two after the race) be used to confirm the "race goes off" time. In other contests, I think the DRF Entry's post time - 1min was used as the cut off limit. This seems to be slightly different, so just spelling it out for clarification...

Almost sure the official "off time" from Equibase is used, and always has been. There was one contest (AsD Parlay) where the scheduled time was used for the order in which scores were calculated, but never for the posting deadline.

I didn't see any free PPs there. Free picks maybe but can't find the free PPs. Any help would be appreciated.

It is a bit cumbersome, but here is what you need to do.
--- Click on the link, then scroll down close to the bottom.
--- On the far left-hand side, you will see a list of tracks. Immediately to the right of those tracks you will find race numbers (like P01, T05, etc.). Click on one of them, then look at the list to find the track and race number. On the same area as the track and race number, you will find a link "ultimate PPs". When looking at the track and race number, be sure it is for the correct date you want.

I would like to add .. if I so may:
Please follow thru on this to actually view the ultimate pps to MAKE sure the pps for the date and track and race are there.
I tested Finger Lakes Race 4 for 9/5/2013. Race 4 is shown on page 1 as D4......however, clicking on it .. and it goes to page 2... there is NO Thursday September 5, 2013 date header and thus there is NO Finger Lakes Race 4 being listed.

Thanks Guys !!!
It will make my head spin trying to find a PP for a particular track, day and date on that site.
I have just 1 more question. I don't need those PPs myself. If a NA track is running on a particular day, can I assume that there will be free PPs on that site? Provided of course there are PPs to be had at Bris, DRF, or Equibase. I do understand tbred races only. It sure would make things a whole lot easier for me and probably others.
Thanks again

Man, there must be some kinda rule against posts like this!
Well, you can see for yourself that the guys that finishes 1, 2 in the HoY last year are scraping barnacles off the PA contest boat this year
BUT ...
If you and any of your so called famiglia are in my sights this year, best to duck and run for cover! Capisce?

Hello planks46d,
Never assume anything when it comes to this free PP site. I'm not sure what their criteria is but I think it is based on the running offspring of various sires.
Unfortunately, it is the only site we are aware of that offers some type of free PPs, which we currently require so that folks do not have to go out and purchase PPs if they don't want to.
Chris

I'm way down the list in points, but signed up anyway in case there are no-shows. When does the sign up close so I can see if I am in or not?
Edit: I now see 9/16 as the cut off. Where is the sign up thread? I already voted in the poll.

The poll is the sign-up thread. If you've signed in you'll be considered as an alternate.
