"Bet a horse, get a horse" board contest
 

I parlay my wagering winnings into my desire to be in on the Dee Tee Stables horses. It was a heck of a lot more fun, for me, to watch Sumwonlovesyou race this year, than reinvesting that money back into a couple of P4 or P6 tries.

Starting funds: $100

The Rules: a "group" handicapping contest - anyone on this board who cares to participate in this thread. All wagers posted on this thread by any one of us counts for or against the "total results" of the group. I'll keep the running total from our original starting bankroll of $100 based upon what's posted here and the results of every wager posted.

The Goal: to turn our group $100 into $500, or even $1500, so anyone following the thread in real life could "Bet a horse, get a horse" by turning their wagering bankroll into being a part of Dee Tee Stables should they wish!

(note - haven't discussed this thread at all with Steve, hope he allows it! :) )

The Method: preserve capital (there is no more when it's gone), get a steady ROI to meet goal. Some here wager on longshots, with the intermittant great score preserving bankroll; some wager more conservatively in order to see a steady profit over time.

When you post a wager, it affects the results of the entire group, so be discerning!

But we have some world-class handicappers on this board, so let's see if we really can do this as a group.

This is pretty much a "safe bet", or "best bet" thread, but the goal is real and tangible - for anyone following along here with real money to be able to join up with Dee Tee Stables with their winnings.

The winners: get a real-life horse

The losers: will cower and cringe in eternal internet embarassment :D

(Note: if you think this is silly, or don't care to share winning picks with others, or want to post a definitive heavy loser to sabotage the contest, just go away now)

I haven't looked at a card yet for today, but I'll be back with something for tomorrow -anybody else ready to help turn our $100 into a horse?

just bet Jamie TheRiot

Yes, that seems to be working very well!

I'm hoping you guys are all handicapped out from yesterday - if anybody finds something interesting in the Belmont carryover, please post it!

6th Keeneland, 7f, MSW 50K - we'll take the two likely to conserve funds, and throw in two longer to try and get a price (although they will be bet down). Pre-scratches.

We're all gonna buy in on a Dee Tee horse!

one of HHH's place wagers hit....Pulpitina for $5place in the 10th returned $29....not sure if that was counted in the tally

Missed that, thanks, adjusting .... and added in to above!

Geesh, you two are getting us halfway there - we'll be sending checks to Steve by the end of the week if this keeps up <g> BTW, I am following along with real money, too.

I may have a play for wednesday and also thursday...stay tuned as we get closer

There's the NY bred that folks will want to get in on, and today Bill W. and I were discussing the hopes for the Aldebaran and Came Home fillies - both with tons of promise, those are very nice yearlings.

If folks that can't afford to get in on Dee Tee Stables right now can take a few bucks and, with the help of others, wager it up to the amount needed to get in on one of the offerings, I think that would be awesome.

Add it to the total; looking to go in on the statebred partnership too!

Throwing my DT hat into the ring
 

OK, I'm in and have a selection today on Dark Tuesday....


Meadowlands: Race #1
#5: Fairforforest 10 WP

Stretching out at lowest tag on form. Switched to high percentage trainer..Pompay on fire this meet and jockey/trainer 45% for meet and 31% this year. Last race very fast on slop and moving fastest at end.

Currently 10/1

ooops, sorry team. i'll make it up to you

Spyder

No worries at all, they aren't all gonna be winners :) - looked promising, would have been a nice hit! I didn't get in because of the timing. Perhaps we should try to post by noon of that race day if we can?

Okay, going into Wednesday: $294.15

Let's get ourselves a race horse! ;)

Nothing really strikes me at Kee Wednesday. Thursday is supposed to be thunderstorms all day - maybe something for Friday!

10/19 Belmont 4th - Hamsa $10Win (Keep an eye on the weather...no-play if it gets real wet)

Ah, scratch :(

Total heading into the weekend: $294.15

10/26 Aqu 4th....10 win #4...

Tough trip....stumbled at the break then checked in traffic turning for home...maybe next time

10/27 AQU Race 8, 10 Win #7

Yesssss #7 True Rock and Roll wins and pays $10.40

Very nice job PD. Way to go

Spydee

I realize that last one was pretty short notice....but I think that puts the bankroll at $326.15

Beth,

Sorry if this is a late stab but just saw this horse and really like
4th race at Oak Tree: #3 Tumbaga: Should be very live if back to cushion track form:

$10 Key wheel 3/4-12

Hope to make amends

I've been very remiss posting here - too busy to look in advance and handicap a day's card (and haven't been betting much lately, too busy) - how'd ya do, Spyder?

Whahoo, Dave hit again - NICE !

Beth,

No bacon....the good news is I'm due!!!

Spydee

Can I get in on this? :D

CD R9 is a good betting race with the SCR of Heat of the Night.

$5 EX 3,6/3,5,6,8 = $30 Good Luck. I hope not to reverse the progress made by PD.

Jman, how's the lawyer business? :) Have missed you guys!

EVERYBODY can be in on this one (notice my lack of contribution :( )

Well, sorry gang, there's -$30. It went 5/6. It wouldn't have been half bad if the 6 actually would've got on top. Oh well... onward, upward... hopefully.

Riot, the lawyer business (ie law school) is still in progress. I think it's safe to say I'm no John Marshall or Oliver Wendell Holmes but I'll probably scratch a living out of it. :)

I'll be in Louisville/Lexington area around Thanksgiving. Maybe if SWLY makes it back to racing on that weekend we'll all have an excuse to gather at the Downs.

Kind of a late one here, but I think $10 Win on Pure Star in CD R8 would be a prudent bet, floating up.

One more for today and if I don't score I'll give it a week... anybody else playing this game?

R9 $5 EX 9/1,2,7 - to continue the nice price train today at CD.

I'm thinking that the bank role is now at $251.15...

Using real money I'm putting $20 win on the 5 in the 10th at Churchill

I did my $25 worth of damage today. See you next week!

Got beat a neck.....Bank Role now $231.15

Aqueduct 8th - Red Smith Handicap

$1 ex bx : #4 and #12
$1 tri wheel : 4/12/1,9 & 12/4/6,8
Ten cent super wheel : 4/12 with 4/12 with 1/6/8/9 with 1/6/8/9

Thought I'd wander back to the thread I started .... :D (sorry, guys, just have not been handicapping or betting lately!)
