Default GPK's Kontest/Saratoga?????

Well boys and girls, since yours truly is gonna be laid up essentially for the whole Saratoga meet, I could be talked into doing a contest if ya'll want. I'm thinking something along the lines of picking any 2 races over the weekends (1 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday) and giving everyone a set $$ amount to place the race of their choice however they would like. Maybe $48 per race...you can play WPS, EX, Tri, Super....NO pick 3 or 4. I am gone for most of today, but would like to have a decision by Wed. as to whether everyone is interested or not.

All those in favor...say I.

I

P.S....since a brotha ain't got no job...the winner only gets 1 hat instead of 2

(I won't need a hat when I win though. My husband steals them.)

I. And if I somehowChannel f find the winners cirlce (highly unlikely) I'd like you to put the hat money on your boy English for yourself in his next race.

BOOTLEG CONTEST RULES, why not just have it like last year, where you get to pick one horse a day (Saturday and Sunday) to win....More skill and less luck

I like Kev's idea as well - makes the decision making easier for me . Whichever is chosen, however, I'm good for probably last place

Do you guys want to become better handicappers, or just play in a contest? You already study the card and pick one HORSE, that you like that will be fair odds for you.

You will see that if you do it this way, you will turn into better handicappers, which is the goal of this whole thing.....

How can I pass up Kev's contest? I bragged about how I finished "$4000 theoretical dollars in the black" for weeks afterwards.
