Very generous payday for those who were astute enough [or lucky enough] to have the last two legs. I can't blame our ROI budget for my failure to hit. I think that I would have been able to include Tripoli on a slightly broader ticket - happened to grade him a "C" and 4th or 5th on the depth chart. Astronaut in the finale is a different matter. Even if I had gone 5 or 6 deep in that race I don't think I would have included him. My hat is off for those who nailed it.

As for the BC pick 6, I know when I'm overmatched. Each of the BC races have too many contenders. For me to be comfortable with a BC pick 6 ticket, I'd probably need to go 6 or 7 deep in some of the races. Doing that can get very expensive very quickly.

Still, it was a fun exercise yesterday in between preparing for Henri.
