Place surges back into the lead, but it will all come down to the last day, which may be today, even with AQ cancelling.
I assume that the intent is to stop the original Contest exactly at 250 place bets. If there are more than 7 place bets today, I'll only count the first 7 (according to post time) in deciding who the winner is. If by some bit of statistical cruelty there are 2 qualifying place bets in the race where just 1 would get us to 250, I'll only count the winner's place payoff. (If randall and Grits agree on a different procedure, I'll do whatever they agree on.)
Also, as I said before, I'll keep the record going for another 250 place bets, until a total of 500 have been run. But the first 250 will decide Randall and Grit's bet.
