It's not often you can win a free contest, pocket $500.00 and feel disappointed. However, that may be the case for the Extreme Racing Day Contest Winner, Peter Lee of San Pedro, CA. He had a tremendous day, picking 7 winners in 12 races and achieving the highest Handicapping Score of 173.70. But, ironically, Lee had all 6 winners on top in the pick 6 sequence. A $1.00 pick 6 ticket combining his top selection in each of those races would have cost him $1.00. No one hit the pick 6 with a pool of over $5,300. Hopefully, the $500.00 top prize will ease his pains somewhat.
Diane Northfield of Sherwood Park, AB, was able to grab second with a score of 141.40. She was able to pick the most winners of any contestant with 8. However, only one of her winners were over 9-5. The defining race was the most extreme race on the card, Race 7. It was the turf/dirt simultaneous event. Peter Lee had the winner at 7-1. Diane earned $250.00 for 2nd place.
Austin Langlois of Muskegon, MI snuck by Michael Yeck of Philadelphia, PA and Andy Dowden of Manchester, NY in a tight three way photo for 3rd, 4th and 5th. Langlois earned a 137.80 Handicapping Score and had a 7-1, 6-1 and 7-2 on top.
Dan Flanigan of Minneapolis, MN was the only local player to hit the top ten. He managed a Handicapping Score of 111.48.
A final ironic twist: Had race caller Paul Allen submitted an entry, he would have won the contest. The selections he gave out on the paddock show gave him a handicapping score of 176.00.
