Default Mike W. From KY had the greatest poly handicapping day ever

TVG seemingly did away with fantasy contests - and went to standard style handicapping contests.

They had a big one today. You had to make eight different $20 WP bets on the card at Del Mar.

Here is how my 8 bets performed.

Race 1: Win ($9.40)

Race 2: Win ($19.40)

Race 3: 5th (8/5 favorite)

Race 4: 6th (28/1 longshot)

Race 5: Win ($17.40)

Race 6: I passed

Race 7: Win ($17.60)

Race 8: Win ($13.20)

Race 9: Win ($9.40)

Race 10: I passed


Ok, so I win 6 out of 8 races ... and all the winners paid between $9.40 and $19.40

Believe it or not ... despite having a truly great run ... I only finished 2nd.

Whoever beat me won 5 out of 8 races .. and had a $34.40 winner. I can't whine about the guy having multiple entries either - because they changed the entering format. Just an insanely good handicapping performance by him ... I pulled one rabbit after another out of my ass and it still wasn't good enough.
