This strategy will get around the 2 entries per person rule. Using this strategy and picking correctly will get you 4 entries into the money round.. You can bet your last dollar that those 4 will NOT have the same picks next round... Cheating, no but exploiting a hole in the system for sure.

I agree it gets you around the 2 entries per person rule, but why did they pick every horse the same? They hit one early and then basically nothing until the last. They had to be outside the Top 30 going into that last race. They were about to go down in flames together which makes no sense to me.

Did you research the rest of the results to see if each of those four had a second entry (which would give them 8 total)?

FYI: the group of players are well known amongst those of us in Toronto that play in the NHC tourney(s)....while I'm not a fan of what they did, I cannot see how it is against the rules...

Agree. Exploiting the hole that is there. I remember Byk raging about some of the shenanigans that occur in these contests last year on ATR... He was pretty fired up...
