The guy that won the thing was all guts.

Bet 1800 on the Friday card and lost which left him with 5700, I think. Bet almost all that on the 4th race on Saturday and had he lost would have been eliminated. Won Around 22,000 and then later won another race for about 6000 and then in the final race bet the whole wad. Don't think I would have done that. Probably would have deducted the entry fee and bet the rest which is what I think the guy that won last year did, but kudos to the winner.

What if you won your way into the contest via feeder or was funded via a syndicate?

Sorry, I am just on the conservative side and it usually costs me, but you are right, maybe a person might be more daring, if they were not losing their own money. Was that the case? Did he enter via syndicate? Seems like I read somewhere that he didn't enter via a feeder. I think I would be even more conservative, if I entered via a syndicate, but less so, if by feeder.

I think that means he didn't play enough races. I think he played 9 and not the required 10. Required to play 3 on Friday and 7 on Saturday. At least that what I got out of it. I think participants are also required to play at least 600 a race(for 10 races). I looked at it and that was the case. He played 3 on Friday and 6 on Saturday.

Thanks, he might have won w/out the penalty

Hard to know. 600 cost him 10K. Of course had he won with the 600, he would have had more to bet in the last race, but had he lost, then he would have had less and ended up with a smaller total of winnings in that race. Would be interesting to know whether that was a strategy or whether he just lost track or maybe did what I sometimes do and take too long to make up my mind what I want to bet.
