Default The Official Saratoga Meet Contest Thread
Here are the rules:

36 bets over the meet that can be made anytime (before the race) on any day at Saratoga.

Each bet is a $20 win bet so all will get $720 over the meet to bet.

Anyone not making 36 bets will be penalized $40 for each bet not made.

I will report weekly the ROI based on the initial investment of $720 with the number of bets thus far and ROI based on $720. This makes it easier for me to keep up with. If you think I've missed one of your bets PM me with post # and details.

All bets must be made on this thread and this thread only with the race# , horse #, and name of horse.

Any scratches are a non-bet

Good Luck to all and as I said I will have a nice prize for the winner..

For tracking purposes, you should do a daily selection thread, becuase if you put all picks on one thread, that is chaos.

Would rather be able to review from one place and keep track by post # as I'll be travelling some days and don't want the headache on a daily basis.

If horse scratches it does not count as one of your 36 bets.

OK to start putting up your picks.

From now on please tell me what day the horse is to run if it's not the day you post.

Good Luck to all!
