The manditory races are Keeneland 4th and 8th, Oaklawn 9th and 11th, and Santa Anita 6th and 9th. You also choose six from those three tracks ( all six can be from one of them....you choose ).

Since you have to be a Youbet customer to participate, if people want to play it here for fun, someone start a thread in the Selections room. To make it fair ALL picks have to be posted by 1pm eastern time. If you are playing Santa Anita and want to offer a few alternate selections in case of late scratches that is obviously fine.

I hope some people from here are playing at Youbet.....and I hope you crush me!


Not really....but I won't mind.
I'm taking a swing at topping you though admittedly it's a tough go given my central focus on a daily basis has a definite East Coast bias (Keeneland presently); over the years I've dabbled at OP with little success; when I have been I've felt more like the proverbial blind hog finding an occasional acorn as opposed to chalking it up to having any confident handle of racing at the track. Good luck!

We're in the same boat.

People at Youbet.

I'm actually kind of enjoying looking at races I normally wouldn't.

I'll take a shot at home as for what ever reason YOUBET is the only major betting service that doesn't service MAC or Apple products so my Intel Macbook cannot access the service.......

What 3 tracks are on the YOUBET list this week???

It looks like it's not set up to take contest bets this early. I was putting in a pick-bet for the 6th at SA, but it didn't give me the "enter this wager in contest?" box to check off. I'll try again later.

do you use wager pad pro?

I just made an attempt to wager and a little box showed up in the lower right corner, prompting you to check it if it was for the contest.
