Wow!

I knew I had done well yesterday, but didn't think I'd catch those at the top of the leader board!

A fair share of luck, managing to nap not only a 14/1 winner, but napping him on a day offering treble points. Considering I had achieved very little in the comp all year, as well.

Jaripeo, I feel sorry for you, because you had led the way for much of the carnival, pulling out some big priced winners from your bag of tricks.

Brock, I like the idea of the two selections with the win, each way and exacta combining the two. I remember you doing that for Royal Ascot either last year or the year before. It was a grand idea.

Thanks for running this again this year.

Thumbs up It was great fun!!!

I've enjoyed the racing from Dubai, it breaks up the doldrums of the winter months every Thursday morning. It was a profitable carnival for me this year and with a little turn of luck....REAL profitable! Thanks for the contest and looking forward for some of the runners at Nad Al Sheba making thier way to the states for big races later on in the year.

Great handicapping, yesterday was truly a challenge with so many good horses to choose from. Congrats.

Default Thanks Brockguy!

Hey were is my horse collar award?

I learned some lessons this season but it was lots of fun.

Think next year I will try to stop the bleeding by concentrating more effort on a race or two each day rather than just dabbling with the entire card.

I especially enjoyed the telecast Saturday. Who knows maybe TVG ot HRTV could cover more days next year.

Brockguy, thanks for all your efforts. Great job running this contest!

An opportunity for W/P wagers or exacta would be welcomed but I'm pretty easy..........whatever you decide on is fine. You don't want to complicate the scoring too much.
