Is anyone else playing Del Mar's online handicapping contest for this abbreviated season? It seems to have become a real stabfest after about 70 players hit a "cap" horse on opening day to immediately increase their bankrolls to $2,000. That's a very difficult deficit to overcome in a short contest season; as I see it, the only way to have a chance is to stab with some price plays and hope for a miracle. The sort of picks that Tom and Ruff routinely make and I seldom hit.
By the way, there is still time to get in - you only need to play a minimum of 10 contest races (out of what they say will be around 20) and only 3 have occurred.
