This weeks races are at Oaklawn (opening day) and Turf Paradise... both are dirt races and have some very interesting Derby contenders running. Both races have big fields, giving us the possibility of long shots winning and you dramatically increasing your winnings. :D The leaders could be passed in the standings this week by anyone - watch out Da Hoss! :eek:

As always, I'll post PP's as soon as I can find them. Good luck everyone!

My first pick of the weekend contest, came home strong. She made sense to me based on her recent works, and E. Razo is an underrated rider in my book.
I'm a little suprised to have gotten 15-1, but i'll take it!
Pick for the Rattle Snake- Mr. Charlypotatoes (in case of a scratch- Ourticket Home) Good luck all!

Ok folks... I'm going to see if they are going to run this race later... If they don't have a date set by this Friday, I'm going to give everyone that made a pick for today a $2 refund credit... that benefits all the folks that play this contest regularly and seems kind of fair... any thoughts?

Also, I'll have next weeks races posted on Thursday morning (west coast time)... will post PP's as soon as I can. Also, anyone that needs PP's when I can't find free ones, just let me know I'll send you the Bris PP's since I get them free (obviously I bet way too much online).

Thanks for playing everyone!

Well, I just noticed they did re-draw post positions so I'm not sure it's fair to count this race since people haven't had a chance to re-evaluate their picks... any feedback?

My thinking right now is to say that everyone who made picks gets a $2 credit to their contest account.

I'd vote that anyone whose pick hits the board should get money for it and anyone who made a pick but their pick either didn't enter this time or doesn't wind up hitting the board gets credited $2.

This sounds very reasonable to me... it encourages those who make picks every time as well as those that may feel they were "cheated" by the post re-draw, yet still rewards the people who were able to pick the best horse.

I'm going with this idea... good call Sniper!
