I don't agree. $2000 does not go very far on a card like yesterdays and I think that was shown pretty clearly. Getting that horse on your ticket was far from easy and that was clear from the results yesterday. Perhaps if you had actually spent a few minutes trying to construct a play ( instead of writing down numbers ) you would have seen how little ground you can cover with under $2500.

I think most people took the contest very seriously and played similarly to a " real money " situation...if they had the real money to play with.
