So Darmar would play this year again but he can’t commit the time. He sends his regrets.

Pook, is my understanding that win, EX and DD are the only bets to be made?

Its on the first page Mitch,

“Betting pools permitted: Win, Place, Exacta, and Doubles.”

5/6 Churchill= 14 races

5/7 Woodbine= Projected to be like 8-10 races on Sunday

14+8= 22x0.30= 6.6 avg or 7 races
14+9= 23x0.30= 6.9 avg or 7 races
14+10= 24x0.30= 7.2 avg or 7 races

Am I doing that math right? So by Sunday, we would have to bet at least 30% of the races or 7 races if Woodbine runs between 8-10 races on Sunday?

Sorry just want to make sure I'm helping out with the math for myself and others :)

And when we are doing Pimlico they usually run around 14 races that day too so

14+8+14= 36x0.30= 10.8 avg or 11 races
14+9+14= 37x0.30= 11.1 avg or 11 races
14+10+14= 38x0.30= 11.4 avg or 11 races

I'm not trying to make it complicated just wondering if I'm doing this right and also if this is roughly how many races we have to have a min for :D

CheckMark you are making a mountain out of a molehill here.

From the rules page;
Players must be involved in a minimum of 30% of all Contest races over the 4 days. Horizontal bets count as 1 'race'. No more than $100 bet per day but a minimum of $200 over the 4 days.

The key words are over the 4 days. It’s not a running average. You could if you wanted do nothing until near the end of the third day and be okay. Up to you to track it and not cut it too close.

Since I had problems understanding the rules last year, I'm grateful for the simplification!

I'm in.

Hey welcome back Tim! The list now includes 10.
