Belmont Card Contest

[Payson Dave]

per discussion in another thread...prizes still to be determined

Post one $2win selection for each race on the Belmont Card (6/9/07)
All selections must be posted by 11:30am on Saturday
Best ROI gets bragging rights and what ever prizes are established between now and then..
Consolidate all your selections (each entrants) into one post prior to 11:30am on Saturday
Use the name of the horse not the number when posting Selections
For scratch purposes only.... everyone gets one alternate selection per race...the alternate becomes your selection in the event that your primary selection scratches
This contest is mostly for bragging rights but it sounds like the winner can also walk away with a hat or two, a couple of T-shirts, a beer at the Spa, a Belmont Blanket,...extra/duplicate hats and/or shirts can be distributed to the runnerups

I'm in...I'll kick in a prize, if I can find something.

[Downthestretch55]

Thanks P Dave. I'm in.
My prize...a cold brewskie at the BBQ at Spa time, or a Toga hat.

[pmacdaddy]

I will play. Sure we can rope Pointman in as well.

Whatever you want to do for prize is cool with me. We will be at Spa Aug 27.

[Payson Dave]

This contest is being developed on the fly..so be sure to check the first post for edits for updated contest rules...ie the alternate selection for scratches clause.:D :D

PDave:

Maybe you can put together a "prize pkg."

anyways count me in for 5 brand new various race track shirts, mostly Calder©, and 7 Gulfstream Park© hats all brand new, all shipped free by me to wherever you want them shipped.

Of course I'm going to win, so I can be so generous!

[Rileyoriley]

I've never played in one of the contests before. I'll give it a shot.:)

[Payson Dave]

Right now we have more prizes than players....At this rate everybody is gonna be a winner...:D

[Buffymommy]

I'll play. Sounds like fun. I will bet that I come in 9th!

[Linny]

I'll be going to the races, from Albany but can post early morning before I leave. Maybe I can find something to contribute to the winner.

-bt-

Your're in....putting up prizes is optional....and certainly not discouraged...:D

[Payson Dave]

Come one, come all...Anyone who wants in on the contest just has to post their picks (one primary selection and optionally one "in the event of scratch" selection) for each race on the card. Consolidate your picks into one post and make sure your last edit of the post is no later than 11:30am on Saturday...make the post in this thread please.
I don't care if I win... I just want to finish ahead of the pros like BTW, and if he enters,Kasept....:D :D

I'm thinking that Antitrust voluteered to keep score...if she needs help I'll lend a hand.

[GenuineRisk]

Hurrah; I'll play! Buffy will trounce me as usual, I'm sure. :)

yeah but since the Belmont card is being run on the east coast and post time for the first race is at noon eastern time, I don't think using noon pacific time as the deadline would work all that well.:D

You got me there!;)

[swedejxn]

You want the horse's name.... what about in the case of an entry????

[Payson Dave]

hmmm good question....since this is all in fun and mostly just for bragging rights I'm thinking that you should have to pick the actual winner...but if the consensus is that the entire entry should count then I'm ok with that...let's see what this mornings feedback is on this question and I'll post the decision by noon today

[swedejxn]

Sounds good... my thoughts are ... from a purist point of view... the horse .. but on the other side... you do pay the lower odds penalty with an entry... what good is picking the longer shot of an entry if you only get 8-5? lol

Well you did POINT out in the ""rules"" to pick the horses name, not the number. So If the horses name is part of the entry, the horse picked would have to win.. correct ? Just another question.. what happens IF there is a horse entered called.....""ALL"".... do you get just THAT horse....or....ALL ?
:D :D

[Payson Dave]

Good luck to all in the contest...not looking good for me to get my selections made and posted...my daughter who just turned 7 years old got hurt on a trampoline yesterday evening...emergency rooms suck....she will be ok but will have a cast on her arm for her birthday party today...

[pmacdaddy]

Sorry to hear about that. Glad she is OK. We have been pretty fortunate so far with trips to ER, but our guys are still pretty small.

I remember growing up, my brother was there like once a month. They would always take him aside and say, "did you really jump off the roof and hurt yourself, or did somethig else happen. It's ok to tell the truth..." Give our parents lots of credit for putting up with us....
