Actually only had 4 winning payoffs, but found the missing one and added it in. You'll see it next time. It bumped you up to -0.39.

ARLETTA LOOSE ON THE LEAD

http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/b...nt=meet126.png

With only 9 days left in the season, Arletta is strolling to the championship. With no winners over the last week, she really lost little ground as Lava moves into second and gambling4ever, GPK, and knickslion round out the top five.

Last years winner Alabama Stakes joins Herkhorse popped their cherry with first winners.

Let me know if something is wrong with results, and you better make your move now cause this contest is coming down the stretch.

Good luck and have a good day at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah on Travers Day!!!!!!!!

Arletta becomes wobbly legged as The Count (Viscount) takes over first place with his Willy Beamin, as a Lion (Knickslion) charges into third.

Is it the Olympics?
Is it the zoo?
No, it the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaah for a few more days

http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/b...nt=meet141.jpg

In related news Fulla Sheets set a new record today posting his winner within seconds of the "official sign" at the track.

The Bart when from out of it to almost breaking even.

As a group of those 40 players who posted a win, we're 124/743 for 16.7% winners with an average ROI of -0.44 (whesh!)

There's a whole bunch of people that have a lot of picks left so swing away and good luck.

Spyder out.............

I believe the upload problem has been fixed.

Does it show how much $$ we won because I don't see it.

I dont remember how much time to post there was when I posted my pick, but I posted at 4:48 and the chart says "OFF AT 4:56". 8 minutes can not be the record.

I will try to post sooner.



EDIT:
Sorry, read it wrong, ignore my response above. I got excited and posted my winner quickly because I dont get to many of them.

Here is complete excel sheet attached with details. Look close my friend for errors cause the finish line looms.

If you go tom line AT you will see the totals. Again, I assume we all start -$800.

Good luck and enjoy your afternoon at the Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

You are right. I knew I had missed one of yours but had not researched. I'll adjust and repost later.

ROAR! You're are killing it!

FINAL RESULTS 2012: The Lion Roars.
Knickslion produces a ROI of 0.56 and comes on strong in the closing stages with viscount26 coming in second with 0.45. Arletta who toyed with field for much of the season mellowed into third with 0.43.

I'll get with Steve about some swag once he comes out of his Spa aftercoma. We'll give him some time to decompress!

Nine people out of about 40 produced a profit.

Attached please find final results, and if it works, the Top 20 from two previous years. I think 08 and 09. Interesting!

Hope you enjoyed the contest and your summer at the Spahhhhhh.

One rule change I am considering is double payout for the jumps! Suggestions welcome.

Spyder out.....
