If it was " just " the people that beat me it's a lot as I was bad to mediocre both weeks. It Include Us had won the photo at Keeneland last week I would have done MUCH better.

I think your performance made YouBet very happy. Lots of people (including me) in the finals means lots of real money bets for their handle.

I hope so.

I honestly tried my best. I spent like eight hours each week ( or should I say " wasted " eight hours each week ) handicapping those cards.

No problem with the instructions.

Good luck - someone here get hot and win this 10k!

It's probably going to take a +$100 or more finish. The 2 prelim winners were +$91 and +$158.80. There will be fewer entries this week, but I'm thinking it will still take more than +$100.

Andy, off subject but how did a player of your stature do @ the Kee. meet? I know you warned everyone before the meet started to tread lightly on the poly. but, I didn't listen. Thank god it is over! What makes it worse is I was watching Hollywood last night and the cushion track was fair.
The funniest thing about Kee. was closing day when Jill Byrne was interviewing Nick Nicholson and he kept gushing about how the polytrack was the "star" of the meet.

My entire handle for the meet was under $2000 and I lost a few dollars but essentially gave up halfway through. To me it is unhandicappable and I will never play it again. The results are completely random. The worst twist Keeneland has added is taking races off the turf because fields stay intact. They have almost never come off the turf in the past, and I have seen consecutive days of rain, but now they do it at the drop of a hat. To me this is a complete disregard to handicappers as regardless of what anyone says...polytrack is NOT turf. Sure, some turf horses like it, but some don't.

As for comments by Keeneland management....well it's their surface, it's their track, and the rest of us are on the outside. I applaud Keeneland for being very innovative over time but this racing surface is a disgrace.

I'm sure you were unhappy with your results, but at least you beat the track take. You lost $7.40 on $96 worth of bets. That's -7.7%. Where's that 8% rebate when you need it!

So even on an off day, you cut the track take in half.
