Someone is running it at the "old" board. This is what we did last year. What can I say, my blond is coming out because I couldn't remember for the life of me yesterday what we had done.
"These are the rules, which are consistent with previous years.
Each entrant must submit picks on the official pick thread, 5 minutes prior to the start of the first official Breeders Cup Race.
Each entrant must select four horses per race
1) First Choice
2) Second Choice
3) Third Choice
A) Alternative
The first choice gets a $2 WIN/PLACE/SHOW bet placed on him.
The second choice gets a $ 2 PLACE/SHOW bet on him.
The third choice gets a $2 SHOW bet on him.
If your horse is scratched the Alternative plays as the show bet....With the others getting bumped up one.
The winner is the person with the most money wins the contest."
