Is it going to be weekend races? If so, I could do it.

it will be all weekend graded stakes, hopefully the drf race of the week so the data for the most part will be free.
whortesman will keep track of the winnings.

Sounds like a winner of a challenge... Work has been wild with all the Katrina stuff finally getting going... but a race or two on the weekend is a good thing.
I'm in on this...

Hope to give all you dilligent posters a run for your money... allbeit just for fun...

you get to call yourself the best grade1 capper on the board, and use the contest results as evidence. i imagine those with "paper" wins will be too shy to actually register for a contesat scored by someone other than those who run it, for fear of the results they make public. some just won't have the stones. there are 2 i am thinking of right now.

Why wouldnt you include this weekend's races? There has to be at least 3 grade ones on Saturday?

Okay mr. anxious will start saturday with the belmont, which means will have to add a 15th race, so the odds of a tie are lower (odd number)

Thanks Man. Looking forward to it. The Belmont is an absolute guess, dontcha think

some look better than others, i like sunriver, steppenwolfer,jazil, blucat, and bobandjohn, more than the other 7.

each week we will start a new thread for that weeks race,
where you can post your picks.

there will be a separate summary thread that posts the totals each week until it accumulates all the weeks totals.
