Still time to enter
Forgive me if this has been posted somewhere else:
Free survival challenge contest starting tonight at the Meadowlands.
They pick three races and give you the bris form for all three online.
To survive, just one of your horses have to finish in the money.
You get a mythical 2 bucks across the board on all three horses.
Bankroll accumulates. Survive, bankroll and number of 3 for 3 winners are the
categories. Trip to Vegas for the big contest.

Damn....I nearly didn't even make it through the first day. 1 show. Granted I went out on a bit of a limb with NNY but I thought my other 2 were solid

Same here... I came really close to a very embarassing first day exit.

Got a win and a place. I just hope it wasn't a fluke

Flipped through the standings and it looked like 250 or so didn't make it, though being a first day, some probably forgot.

First page of the leader board for Betchatoo! You'll be easier to watch, at least for a while. I'm doing my slow and steady routine, #355. 6/1-2-1 $56-ish. Nice that there are bonuses for most wins and 3-win days. Having 3 races to have a chance to stay in is nice too, so easy to get wiped out of NYRA's showdown fairly quickly. I imagine the longer some people last in the contest, the longer they're willing to bet a few dollars on the card, online or otherwise.

Just a reminder to those of us in the MED contest - they run Day Cards on Tuesdays.
