(Amazingly, the runner-up to McGoey in 2011, Christian Hellmers, was also the runner-up to him again this year!)
More importantly, I can't find an article about it at all. Thats an amazing accomplishment and DRF nor Bloodhorse writes about it.! ?

Tom..

You see Jerry Brown's post at TG?

Meanwhile, pretty good story re the contest, which as always I'll point out was my idea: Christian Hellmers, a California guy who used to be Betfair's rep in the U.S., is a friend of mine. He uses our data (along with a lot of trip stuff), and finished second last year, leading the whole second day until another guy bet 10k to win on Drosselmeyer. So this year he hit a $1,000 two horse exacta box on the FM Turf, took the lead, and nursed it through the second day. In the last race he bet 2k to win on Fort Larned, only to find out.. THE SAME GUY (McGoey) bet 7k on FL, plus a $300 exacta over MMM.

So there Christian was, rooting his horse home, only to find out he would have been better off losing the photo (170k first prize).

Yeah, caught it yesterday. I'm just shocked that it hasn't been covered by DRF or Bloodhorse yet, especially with how it went down.

Pretty amazing for Hellmers, again!

He had 7k on Fort Larned and a $300 Ex with MMM and if that wasnt enough, he wins the handicapping contest for 280k.

Amazing!
