I like your concept, but that's a mighty ambitious contest card you've presented. I think I count 10 stakes races from GP and another 6 from Oaklawn.
What would you think about paring it down a little by eliminating some of the races that are called stakes races but are more like overnight handicaps with enhanced purses, such as the Army Mule and Cutler Bay at Gulfstream and the Eclipse Overnight and the American Pharoah Overnight at Oaklawn? I won't be available again until late tomorrow evening so won't be able to join in any discussion. I'll post the threads tomorrow night with whatever combination you finally decide.

That's a full dance card, but since you're willing to score that many races, that's what I'll post.
Out of respect for Real Quiet, with that many races on the card, I'm going to limit the ROI to only the races on our contest card. That should give everyone enough options.

I am so glad I no longer play in the points contest. I don't know whether I could finish handicapping by Saturday.
  That said, I do appreciate Digger's willingness to play the Arkansas Derby races along with the Florida races. Hard to say whether any of them will have anything to say about the Kentucky Derby, but we all know, they could.Last edited by cal828 : 03-27-2025 at 08:55 PM.

After doing the Oaklawn card yesterday I saw Digger edited his race choices. That does not make me a happy camper.
