Thank you Rich and Ted

This one looks like it will be lots of fun and a good way to react
and learn

Thank You !:)

Richie,

Shouldn't you and Ted limit Barb to one win wager or some limit since you two creators have trained her to be a handicapping whiz? :rolleyes:

Just kidding Barb!:) But you'll make the rest of us work real hard just to have a chance.

Thanks Richie & Ted. The contest are always fun.

Night Mares
 

Mike:

You mean like the kind of "night mare" the movie producer in The Godfather found in his bed the next morning? Dreadful!

Hardly Budman, but it's going to be fun.

Re: Contest
 

Richie,

When will the contest races be announced ?

Do you have to play all of the announced races or can you pick and
choose ?

Ernie

Morning Ernie

1) As soon as Equibase puts up the entries where we can see the field sizes I'll post the race threads here. With SoCal racing probably 2-3 days out. If it's earlier than that we will be on it.

2) Because losing bets are NOT deducted from winnings players might as well fire at EVERY contest race as highest accumulated earnings at contest end will grab the prizes.

Good questions man! :)

thanks Richie
 

how nice of you to name the contest after Billr. So Bill is in his new San Diego place with his sister and brother in law, looking out the palm trees in the back yard at the sunset over the Pacific.
He certainly deserves it. He made that arduous trip, has plans for his new life, and I know you all wish him the best. Brooks and I certainly do. But we miss him!!! Esther Varone

Hi Mrs V!
I bet the weather out there is good enough for some boccie too! :eek:

RE: Scoring
 

"..Scoring:
Please read CAREFULLY as I need your help:
1) When the contest forum goes up each player will start a thread with his/her name and will score their "own ball" self tallying each days WPS and Exotic hits in their own named thread.

**Scores from each Saturday MUST be tallied and posted by the player at the LATEST the following evening (Sunday) by 7 PM Eastern time so I can go around and tally/post the contest leaders by Monday evening. If you fail to update your individual thread by Sunday evening at 7 PM Eastern time your score for that week regardless of actual total will be ZERO.**

2) ALL bets will be placed in individual race threads created by me before that weeks play. **Bets placed in individual players threads will not be tallied and will not count.**..."

Hi Richie..

So that everybody who wants to be involved is on the same page... can u post a sample contest thread that shows your requirements in order for it to be valid contest bet and scoring tally.....

Nice Prizes BTW...maybe next year the top3 can represent RDSS in the DRF Championship...

Thanxs in Advance....

Jess

GREAT idea Jess. Tomorrow I will put up a sample race thread and also a sample individual user thread to show what we need.

Thanks man!

Here you go Jess and thank you!

Lets Just Hope...Santa Anita will have enough horses to have full fields to make the contest interesting or are you goin to other tracks outside of calif. if the fields are not full for that day?

Jess

I have a question with the scoring. We have $20 and $24 respectively for wins and exotics for each race. If we win that race, can we use our winnings to add to our bets on the next race, or do we have to keep to $20 to win and $24 for exotics only for each race.

Hi Barb
No we can't parlay winnings going forward. Each race we get just $20.00 for the W/P/S part and an additional $24.00 for exotic wagers - Exacta - Trifecta - Superfecta

Interesting idea though. maybe an idea for next contest?? Mmmm
:)

Scratches?
 

If I need to post my picks early (like the night before), how would we handle scratches?

Count as a lost, no bet or can we list our primary selection and an alternate?

If choosing alternates it may get a little confusing for the exotics.

Just throwing it out there. However it's handled is ok with me.

Chris

Hi Chris
We will NOT be able to post alternate picks in case of scratches etc.

Folks WILL be able to amend/change picks up until post time of the races and at Santa Anita that usually gets us to evening time here in the East.

The process to change/amend picks is to go to your original post in that race thread/reply with quote so your original post is seen and then update with your new picks. Again this process is available right up until post time.

Get an Early Start for Saturday
 

Santa Anita has posted pdf versions of nominations, not yet entries, for four stakes to be held this Saturday, FYI. Of course we don't know which races will be in contest yet, but you can have fun playing with entries for four races in advance.

go to: www.santaanita.com/stakes_schedule for the entries. Click on the race of interest and print to your heart's content

See you all Saturday,
