Saratoga Meet Wrap Up Thread

[TheSpyder]

Enjoying 4 cancelled flights from 9am this morning and ending up landing only two hours from my original destination (Greenville, SC - Charlotte, NC), has given me a new appreciation for LaGuardia Airport.

And time for the first week recap

Lots of action from the start with a record 23 people winning over the first week. I'll have to check records, but thats way better than the past. Of note, there was a three hour period where I actually was tied for the lead.

But enough about me.

Casp055 (-0.40 4/8) and gamblin4ever(-0.49 4/10) out of the gate flying with the lead in that order with them.

The real surprise is the new and improved Arletta who has thrown away the chalk and busted out of the gate with a $316 winner!

Another note:

Please remember to follow the rules in posting wagers and results in the proper manner ! I had only one child for a reason, if you know what I mean.

Enjoy your day at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

For many others it was Majestic Raffy ($360) who helped lift them to to the top 10.

In second is Arletta who is doing a nice job of being bipolar in her pledge against chalk. Yet strangely the strategy is working with 4/14 (-0.20 ROI).

Nine people off the shnide this past week and a mightly close contest indeed as we approach the 1/3 mark of the contest.

Hope you're having fun.

Spuder out.

And I have been spuddering mightily at the windows
