Hey nice going! you got the tri.

Let's go Chicagoans....we have two West Coasters winning a contest that is about OUR meet! We have awhile before the next race.....so let's regroup.

oh sorry, my mistake. I saw the tri listed on brisbet as $8.15 and just assumed it was a buck.

you're off to a great start.

Just kidding,bro! It's fun to play these contests and I'm sure it'll be crowded at the end!

Since I did sooooooooooo well last week...... Is there a race tomorrow?
Or is this a one & done contest...:p

There is no stakes race at Arlington this Saturday.....so we don't have a race this week.
Here is the full list of 27 races we will be playing in this contest: http://www.arlingtonpark.com/racing_...s_schedule.pdf
As you can see, there will be times when we go a couple weeks without a race, and then other Saturdays when we have multiple races.
So don't worry, there is still plenty of time for you to rally from your poor Race 1 performance to finish a well-beaten second to me.

A well-beaten second ?....... Your giving me THAT much Credit ????

Sorry I didnt read the schedule.... Im just SOOOOO used to making picks for this weekend.... Im havin a racing withdraw....Ohhhh.... well there is allways next weekend... I Wonder if there are any good races NEXT weekend ?:p

....chuckle..chuckle:)

Okay people, it has been 3 weeks since our first race, but we are back this Saturday with the first graded stakes of the Arlington meet. It looks like a really nice field.
In case some of you forgot, the betting works like this: $2 WPS bet on your top selection and you also get $4 to spend on other wagers of your choice.
Good luck everyone.
