2/9 DT 'Beat the Host' Simo Contest!
 

Brad Free is the host for Xpressbet 'Beat the Host' this week and everyone had fun last week so I thought we'd go again!

How it works:

•Mythical $2 Win wager on one horse in each of the eight mandatory contest races.
•Your goal is to exceed Brad's cumulative mutuel total.
•Entries close at post time of first race (Est. 3:30pm ET).
•Will adjust for early SCR's, but late SCR of host selection results in a 'null' event.
•Prizes for Top 3 finishers.

Nice Point! :$: hence my avatar

Nice start!

Congrats and you are most likely the winner already :tro:

Thanks, guys! Just saw the result, what an overlay at that price! I have him in the real contest as well, but he is a cap horse there. Hopefully, I can make a run at the weekly!

Not to mention over $200 for the $5 win wager. 4 ppl had the 2 at GP. 14 others including yourself tied for 2nd.
Cash some more winners:tro: G/L

Thanks, for the update, PCL! I can't see the standings from my drf account, so I really appreciate it! I am going to try to stick in there and make a run for it!

Nick.. Awesome! Hopefully Johnny D is reading your name off for the recap! Paul Weizer and Dave Blaha -- I think -- have both been weekly winners.. G/L rest of the way..

Thanks, Steve! That would be elite company to get in, but I think I am done after those last two races. The 5 ran very well in the SA 4th at the price, but not good enough.

Does anyone have the amounts of the top three in the contest? I might as well go long in the last and take a shot even if I could not find another winner after the cap pick in the first leg. :zz:

Virginia Little $162.50
Thomas Alton $162.00
Jeffrey Turkel $162.00
Christopher Ruhnke $149.00
Juanito Aquino $146.50
Steve Terelak $144.50
Catherine Starr $129.00
David Casias $125.00
James Emge $120.50
Micheal Bolduc $105.00
Charles Guenther $105.00
Nicholas Massimo $105.00
These represent $5 increments

12 is 2nd time gelding
That is of course, 2nd start as a gelding.

Thanks, PCL! I really blew it, but still have a small shot. Have to mail it in on a cap horse, between the 8 and 11, but going to try the 8.

Thanks, PCL, did not know Shaun Washington was a second time gelding. Think the 1 1/4 may be out of his scope here.

Congratulations Nick ($125.00) and Sir Barton ($44.60) for besting Brad!

Casper best of rest for 3rd at $22.00..
