Thanks to all. It was a fun weekend for sure.
I've learned a lot over the years from this board and ATR. Specifically, Jack and Nick have been very helpful as it relates to contests and strategy. I always find it informative to hear the general strategy people use in live bankroll contests so I'll give a quick overview: I went in knowing that I'd focus primarily on the Dixie, Preakness and Mizdirection Stakes - Initially, I was basically without a plan for Sunday. Key wagers were... $50 Ex Minster'sadventure - Miss Star Maker $60 Ex Takeover Target - Ring Weekend $100 Ex Exaggerator - Cherry Wine $120 Double into Wild Dude $50 Ex Sweet - Grandma's Hands Nyquist winning actually would have been better for me had Cherry Wine still finished second. If Miss Double D'oro would have got up to win the Mizdirection I would have had a $200 Double from Wild Dude and another $150 Double into the eventual winner of the night cap. Hard to complain with the outcome and who's to say others wouldn't have had those for even more than me. I played relatively conservative on Sunday and only took big swings on the Sweet race and the feature (needed either of the Hollendorfer's in there). Initially, I was upset they decided to not allow trifectas. In hindsight, I'm convinced that I would have spread too much on trifectas and likely wouldn't have done as well. A great contest and they take care of you out there.
