My pay for the one essay is one copy of the book, no royalties. But I only get $150 for my longer, monthly articles, so it's a pretty good deal. And I get to be grouped in with a bunch of stars in the field, whether I deserve it or not.

Good for you Ann. Also, congrats on your play in public handicapper. I was rooting for you. Hope you win (or finish in the top 3) next time.

Wow, another RTTR alumnus! I really hated it when they shut down the board. A few people who couldn't keep on topic and play nice ruined it for the rest of us. Actually, I'm on another board with a bunch of people who didn't want to stop talking after the contest one year and we are now like family.

Actally, Gene and Kevin ARE on our private horse fans board on Yahoo. We do also chat on the Pick 6 board in season. I have another spinoff board (for handicappers, not just racing fans) on Yahoo with some Pick 6 alumni. I spend a lot of time on boards - yes, I have no life.
