Yeah, it's a long day not just handicapping but scoring. But it's all good and fun. I used to have tickets every year for Oaks day and would arrive at Churchill before the first race. By the end of the day I was exhausted. Would spend Derby day at Keeneland for their wonderful buffet and it was a lot of fun. Have to admit, again, was exhausted by the end of the day.

I think what makes it so bad is how they extend the time between races later in the cards. Just keep it at 30 min. But I know they extend the time to bring in more betting money. Still, ugh.

Also, as is tradition, a KY Derby glass will be awarded to the Points Contest and ROI winners.

“ Ruffian, Reread the initial post, item d.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=====

A
I scroll down to the beginning and the first thing I see is
Cal
Addressing my handicapping method of secret spells etc

B
I do not see “item D “

Sorry for interrupting your day with my state of confusion
Sorry you could not understand why I was confused
After seeing what Cal posted that included exacta + attendance

I thought perhaps I may have missed something new that was added

As for losing my “ Editorial Position “ 😱

Who Else Will Notice Your Errors
And Prevent Humiliation
