Today's Saturday and you're allowed two picks.

Only two days to go so Enigma will need it to get the required 10 plays.

A 7/2 fav, is more risky that a 7/2 where there's also a 2-1 and a 9/5 in the race. Without the zero incentive, no one would pick the former.

But I'm open and maybe we can't vote on the rules for the next one.

If you are going to possibly vote for next round, here is my idea.

The pick must be from the track designated that day and must be a ML favorite from one of that tracks races. Tracks rotate daily from around the country, but what track on each day is listed specifically at beginning of contest. A scratch does not count as a loss, but if no other horse is given as a replacement that day, 2 horses must be listed next day. As before, 3 optional bye days and an unreplaced scratch can be designated as a bye if contestant still has them. If a track cancels races before close of all racing that day, the day counts as success for all contestants.

hhhhhmmmmm interesting. I'm thinking we have the next one in January. We can kick around the new rules until then. Unless someone wants to take the mantel and run one sooner.
