Maybe I should throw in an " official " dunce cap for the last place finisher.

Or I could just enter and inevitably just keep mine.

If I get a chance. I'll try....the problem is I have to go out there reasonably early Saturday. Can I post alternate selections in case of late scratches?

I'll just embarrass myself as usual.

Now, that's a great marketing idea!

We can count the losing bets if you would like. Its just easier to take into account the winnings only.

ROFLMAO>>>>and pissed my pants!

I guess we could make it that for scratch purposes only everyone gets one alternate selection per race...the alternate becomes your selection in the event that your primary selection scratches

I was considering making them the first " Youbet's Playing to Win " piece of merchandise. God knows every horseplayer needs one. Problem is they are expensive. An ex-girlfriend of mine, who made me a great one a couple summers ago, made me an excellent new one for this week's show. However, we paid her $100. I'm not sure how many people will want them....especially with a mark-up. However, I'm sure we can work something out if anyone's interested.

was just kidding ya didn't need to poof it on my account

One easy way to keep score would be to individually sum each entrants winning $2wager payoffs ... the individual with the highest win total is the winner...That is probably what you mean by counting only the winning wagers right???

JRV's ROI
 

Since coming back from his fall at Keeneland last spring.

JRV has won at a 20.9% clip, from just over 1,000 total rides. His overall ROI is $1.63 -- which is an 18.5% loss on the betting dollar...slightly more than the win takeout.

He's having uncharacteristical statistical struggles on the dirt. Since the injury, he's 137-for-622 (22% wins) but his ROI is terrible $1.37 ...which is a 31.5% loss on the betting dollar...and more than double the takeout.

He's also struggled in stake races recently--winning just six of them since the end of March...and that includes all varieties of stakes from ones with $35,000 purses right up through Grade 1 races.

He's always been a guy who's ROI stats have always looked far better than his riding appears, especially right before he teamed up with Todd Pletcher--he rides the inside paths about as well as anyone not named Dominguez, Prado, or Borel --- but he tries avoiding the inside even more than usual, and almost never seems content there anymore.

He's always put up remarkably good turf numbers, especially for a guy who isn't fond of saving ground.

I've only been focusing on stake races the fast few months....but he appears to be riding well below his best form from what I've seen in those limited number of races.

:D
