Tough to compete with god! I was hoping you would let Medaglia win at 70-1 just for the irony. You're no fun.

Default Final Standing

GOD WINS!

hi im god finsihed in style yesterday with a $204 winner Vineyeard Haven in the Hopeful to extend and cement his victory. hi im god ended with a very impressive 10/36 with 27.8% wins and an ROI of +0.91!

Second was Herkhorse with +0.34
Third was trifecta with +0.29

Ten players out of the 27 that went the distance ended up even or in the plus column which is pretty impressive. Eleven players had no winners and many ditched the contest when things were no going well.

Overall 1,102 bets were made producing 138 winners for 12.5% wins.

The prize will be announced later today. Although it was a bit of work I enjoyed keeping up with the contest. Hope you did as well and I learned a great deal. About 48 weeks til we do it again.
