Sorry, the contest is ending though. I may miss the poly. Could be just an illusion, but I think I did a little better on poly than turf. Those turf races were killers.
What's My Line was the name of the tv show..
Haven't cashed a ticket last 12 races..and this is my best contest
No soup for me this year...Hope Clark wins it...i know he will share with his friends.

The only money involved is to help pay for travel/hotel to Vegas.

"GRAND PRIZE: The TWO overall top finishers for the 2014 season contest will receive trips to Las Vegas and an entry into the $2-million NTRA/DRF National Handicapping Championship in Las Vegas in January 2015. A $1000 stipend will be awarded to each qualifier for hotel and travel expenses for NHC."

I think it's great he's gotten to 6th place by using names and or numbers..

To hell with trying to handicap.. Just go with names from now on


I will give you a hint on his selection for today..


Ray Charles and Leon Russel sang it

Yep, that was it. I couldn't remember whether it was "I Got a Secret," "What's My Line" or "To Tell The Truth." It all runs together after awhile ( a "few" years.).
