wow this is going to be wild

Thanks. I know it is a lot of money but the contest really only costs $2500 to enter. The rest is a live bankroll. On that part, there is no requirement that you lose the whole thing.

Plus, betting that kind of money, you don't have to be right alot to make a good score. Last year, I hit one race in the two days of any signifigance and still made a profit for the event.

They also give players a private room view a great view and buffet. There is no fighting the crowds and no lines to bet. It really is a first class event.

I say this all the time but, most importantly, contests in general are the best in racing as you don't face an onerous take out. This contest has no take out at all and additional money to seed the pot. If you can bet into pools with positive expectations like this all the time, the game would be much more beatable.

I entered the July 4th contest at Red Rocks and the Ultimate Handicaping championships at Emerald in Aug and they were both reasonably priced to enter but 10k is way too much for me. Maybe in 5yrs.

But there IS a requirement that you BET 3000 on Friday and 4500 on Saturday.

would be something to be in first and have somebody catch a huge tri in the last race to beat you. No thanks with the inclusion of the exotics it makes it more about swinging for the fences since the minimums are so high. Rather take my $2500 (as I would be unable to come up with the $7500) and play the day away.
