I went with #9 and he was a winner. But my question here is how many races must one place to qualify? I rank 82nd

I’ve never done the Del Mar contest. Is it the same set up as Monmouth’s Survival at the Shore or different? I’ll have to check it out.

One race a day chosen by the powers that be at Del Mar. It's usually a turf race. $100 mythical bankroll each day to play. Last year you could play WPS and exactas. I am guessing that they will start with the Oceanside, a turf handicap with 13 starters. Should be a real brain buster to start out. Especially for those like me, that do not play the turf particularly well.

I don't believe there are exactas this year WPS and 25/1 odds...

Well that’s cool. I may like that better than the Survival at the Shore setup.

I believe the 100 is deducted for scoring if you whiff so choose the picks/days carefully . also bets 50 & under don't count for scoring. read the rules.though as i only skimmed it once.
