The contest races for a given week must be listed and established prior to posting picks so that there is no confusion (i.e. somebody might miss an obscure G3 at an obscure track otherwise). The contestant with the most profit (or smallest loss) through the Breeders' Cup Classic is the winner.

- Turf races moved to the main track will not be counted.

- Each contestant will be responsible for keeping track of his own score, but should monitor his opponents' score for potential errors/cheating. Each contestant must post his totals at the conclusion of each week's races.

Stakes negotiable. Use of a middle man or alternating between who has to post first each week is also up for debate. Not sure what to do about scratches. Other suggestions for how to tweak the rules are welcome.

Both you guys are on the ball and usually know who is scratching out of what races. I think that if you make a selection and he/she scratches out before the start of the card and you don't alter the pick then you are just out of luck. But if it the scratch should happen after the card starts (i.e. at the gate), then that race is null and void.
Also if the BC is the finale of this contest, those picks should be Pm'd and posted by a third party. This way NEITHER side has an advantage.
Good Luck to both of you.
