leaving the rail open for herk on medaglia d'onore. i'll feel very stupid if that horse somehow manages to win and costs me the contest.

great contest spyder. tons of fun win or lose. can't believe the effort you put into tracking all this. thanks for all your work.

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.

Congratulations to God, (known years ago to many as 'chromer'), on a great win; to herk and tri on their placement and showing; all for participating and Spydee for executing a tough to score format!

Prizes for top 3 and Spydee... Please PM me with reminders of addresses!

I know were a month out, but I'm definitely getting the itch for Saratoga.

Spyder's contest last year was tons of fun. We up for it again this year?

I am game for trying to coordinate a prize package if Spydee or someone else can do the scoring.
