They've made some changes. There is now just a single prize--$3K to the winner.

They've changed the tie breaker to most wins. 2nd tie-breaker is most place finishes.

They are also excluding races that are drawn with 5 or fewer horses. I'm assuming that those races will simply not show up on the race-day list. That should help produce the single winner they are shooting for.

--Dunbar

Wow, after two days over 5000 out!...unreal...gl to our gang here...

What is funny is that there were some pretty easy winners over the 1st 2 days....2 for Baffert and atleast a couple of others.....the object of the game is to pick winners, not prices at this point.

Was thinking same thing, hate to use the word but there were a couple 'locks' first two days..stayin alive is name of game for now....

Im still in! Thought I messed up becaussed I had only played two races but then remembered that the contest started on Saturday and not Friday..........:)

I used the horse I liked the best that day so Baffert kids or not when I saw My Gi Gi was running? Had to.

It's all good. :)

Good luck to all of you.

October 4th, 2012 - Race 1 - #06 Yodelin' Angel


Get it over quick..

FWIW, I think taking a shot against a very heavy fav is a reasonable strategy in a contest like this. (As bigrun knows, there is no such thing as a lock!)

If the goal is to make the best use of one's time, then maybe it's better to take a shot early than wait two weeks for the number of serious players to dwindle. If you can eliminate 3/4 of the competition right away, then that might justify putting in some more time on the contest. If you avoid an early heavy fav loser, you could even reasonably play the most likely show horse the rest of the way, reasoning that most of your competitors are NOT choosing the most likely horses. (the ones choosing the most likely horse are gone!)

--Dunbar

That was really well stated.

The good thing is there's always another one of these contests coming up so might as well try different strategies and you're right... trying to get a few price horses early on does make sense.

Personally I was just sick of ignoring the ones i like in favor of who looks good on paper and then being disappointed and kicking myself. :D
