Betfair Hollywood Park ''Just for Fun''
Online Handicapping Challenge


Thursday is the first day of a new meet (and a new name) for Betfair Hollywood Park -- and of a new Play-for-Fun Online Handicapping Challenge here at http://www.dmtc.com/.

The contest begins on Thursday, April 26 -- and winds up on closing day, July 15, leaving you ready to play our for-real contest when Del Mar Opens on Wednesday, July 18.

Play up to $100 in contest dollars each day to win, place and/or show on each day's contest race. There aren't any fancy prizes or anything, just the chance to test your handicapping skills against a group that includes everything from novices to some of the top handicappers around.

It's always free to play and no money actually changes hands.

You can sign up for the contest using your existing online profile. If you don't have an online profile -- or need to update your existing one -- you go to dmtc.com/mydelmar/.

Yeah, I got overhauled on the next to last day when the ultimate winner picked the 20/1 shot with $100 on it (the only way to tackle this kind of contest). I had a 7/1 shot in the last race to go for the win, but it was not to be. Congrats to the winner and all who played!

You did a tremendous job Mike.. you lead it for most of the contest.





(oh!, and Please watch your language, that word makes me want to hurl..... :D)

Hollywood Park "Just for Fun" contest..
 

big, I should have put $100 place instead of $100 win on that one in the contest; I'm now scoreless in that thing.

In real life, I put $10 win on the 11, and a $1 exacta back wheel. $18 out, $174.90 in; not bad. I was losing all day too, so that got me ahead.

Better to score in real life than for fun any day huh...ex part back wheel my fav bet...like to key a horse that has a chance to win and put him in the two hole...

Heard from Mary Shepherdson at Del Mar, who does a fine job running these contests. They're gonna send me a nice Del Mar logo windbreaker for finishing second in the Santa Anita contest just concluded.

Can't get on the board at Hollywood yet, however.

So there are prizes in this for fun contest...good deal...I have a SA windbreaker from way back...Haven't worn it lately, has a hoodie...
Also have two Delmar sports bags and Delmar classic cap....still in the package...

Yes, got it last week; very nice. Imagine the winner got something out of the gift shop like I did.

Had the favorite (#1) today, and had a 15/1 shot last week, so I'm back in positive territory in the contest. Just held you off at the wire today.
