Polytrack contest
 

Anyone interested in a polytrack only contest for about 7 weeks leading up to the Derby?

NO dirt. NO turf. Polytrack only races.

We have Turfway running til 4/3 and Santa Anita going til 4/20.

Thinking out loud: If folks are willing to score their own ball like we did in recently concluded contest we could do 4 races a week on Saturday's. 2 from each venue til Turfway closes and then 4 races a day from Santa Anita til they close up on 4/20.

We will do the same "biggest fields thing" we did in last that seemed to work pretty good.

NO cash prizes for this one. We have something big in the works for late summer/fall.

I will go and ask for some prizes from folks I know at
Daily Racing Form
Trackmaster
Post Time Solutions

to see if I can rustle up a prize or 2 but can't promise anything.

Figured we run March through end of Santa Anita meeting on 4/20. Then break for Triple Crown stuff. The fire our next big contest come late summer/fall.

Any interest?

Richie: While Poly isn't the favorite thing for many, the contest might bring some of us to the table who normally would avoid the plastic in serious betting, thereby helping to sharpen our skills on the stuff...Winning a contest might take a back seat to gaining insight... I'd say give it a shot...Marty

Bring it on, I'm in - time is time, energy is energy

Just checked the schedules and we would also have Keeneland in the mix for April

Rich, you can count me in. I agree with a previous post that this may give some of us some new found insight on how best to play these types of surfaces. The experiences of the many in trying to pick winners for the new surface if shared amongst us will be a reward in itself.
