THUD!




www.vernondowns.com/racing/showdown/


starts Friday

My life is now complete, Herkie.

you're welcome :)

:p :{>:

Used my other forum name, Vengeance of Rain, and went with Moon Lake in R3 cause I thought it was pretty. :D

You?

This contest is right in GPK's alley.

I haven't looked. I'm not good at remembering to play. If you just pick Rick Plano every day, you'll probably do OK.

This is the one, I'm thinking of doing a show parlay that lasts the whole meet. Oh, and they have a nice buffet, WITH dessert.

Thanks herk, first time for me on VD contest...err Vernon Downs...:)
I got a new set of darts for them..
Geez, i need an assistant to keep track of my contests..

I'm in.

April 26th, 2013 - Race 5 - #6 Pegasus Sis

49-1, took the lead and faded. I'm truly sorry. The good news is, well there is no good news.

Yeah I looked at the favorite horses page just for fun and one I saw that this one wasn't even listed, ie less than 9 people picked her, knew I was ****ed. :D

It's all good, herkie. :{>:

:wf

I picked Spring Goal in the 6th, winna winna :rolleyes:

Who did you go with Herk?

umm, I picked that one ^^^^^^^:D

Ah was really glad you asked this cause I had no idea!

Which one? :p

I live about 6 miles from Vernon Downs, all back roads. It's friggin beautiful this time of year.

Winner winner

Sorry you were posting at the same time I asked :D

only 219 left out of 527 on day one. Glad this is only 2 times a week.

Really? I am so sorry.;)

I honestly thought the title of this thread was Vernon Downs SHUT DOWN. Wouldn't have been surprised.

Tom, I was there once, so many years ago, 1988 I believe. A tad out in the middle of nowhwere, no?

:rolleyes: Middle of nowhere??!! It's right between NYC and Buffalo. :D

Vernon Downs nearly folded a few years ago, but things have improved.

April 27

Race 1

#3 Rock Man

I am sure it's because 90% of the peeps playing have no frickin' clue just like me and can't even find some P.P's on the damn place. (free P.P's anyhow :p)

I am just glad my dart landed on the bulls eye yesterday, but really am not holding my breath on staying alive in this one too much longer :)

Sat 4/27
 

R10 ~ #5 Fox Valley Leo

Good luck today Herkie, IK, Knicks and Ms. Arletta. :)

Thank you. Looks like we all move on to next week. :)

I just barely advanced. 106 people left after 2 days.

Good deal.. Maybe you should post your picks so we would know :)

It's a competition :p

At least I told you about the contest.:D You now have a 1% chance of winning 1500.00, just by picking 2 horses.


JK, I'll post in advance if it makes you feel better :)

Well I find it more fun to root for one another's horses.
You don't have to post until after the races begin if your worried about one of us stealing your pick. :p

I'm out
