Default The Official Saratoga Meet Contest Thread
Here are the rules:

36 bets over the meet that can be made anytime (before the race) on any day at Saratoga.

Each bet is a $20 win bet so all will get $720 over the meet to bet.

Anyone not making 36 bets will be penalized $40 for each bet not made.

I will report weekly the ROI based on the initial investment of $720 with the number of bets thus far and ROI based on $720. This makes it easier for me to keep up with. If you think I've missed one of your bets PM me with post # and details.

All bets must be made on this thread and this thread only with the race# , horse #, and name of horse.

Any scratches are a non-bet

Good Luck to all and as I said I will have a nice prize for the winner..

For tracking purposes, you should do a daily selection thread, becuase if you put all picks on one thread, that is chaos.

Would rather be able to review from one place and keep track by post # as I'll be travelling some days and don't want the headache on a daily basis.

If horse scratches it does not count as one of your 36 bets.
