Cal and RQ, good luck to both of you and to any others of our small group who have qualified. I believe that the contest card will be available on Thursday. The last I looked, there are 1,940 qualifying entries; I assume that takes into account those who have qualified two or three times, so the actual number of individuals participating will be fewer.

With that number, I'm afraid that just handicapping won't get the job done. A certain amount of stabbing is going to be required to come out on top of such a large number of players. Even with the caps of 20-1 to win and 10-1 to place, if there are any price horses in the 12 race program, you will need to have them to come out on top. So Cal, you are absolutely correct in suggesting that players like Ruffian or Roamin, who are brave enough to look for bombs, would have the best chance of coming out on top.
