That would be 11:30 am EST? That is awfully early for Cali Boys...without their 1st cup of Joe!

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.

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

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 ?
