I have been to 4 contests in New York. They do not compare to the one Keeneland offers. The competition at Keeneland is tough and might be tougher than the New York contests. We have sat next to the same group of guys from New York at the Keeneland contest for 3 years in a row now (which is 5 contests) and even they say it is much better. The food, the treatment and also 100% of the entry money is given out in prizes. Now sometimes if they have more money than planned for prizes they will either add on to the top 5 places or pay out to the 25th position.

Euro,

With a 100$ entry fee you get a bunch of tin cups in a contest like that. At 400 a pop with all the big hitters taking multiple entries, I venture to guess the competition is better in NY....I;m sure they food is better in Keenland by the way, lol, but I don't enter for the food.

$100 gets you prime rib, chicken, mashed potatos etc etc. But again, I think the Keeneland contest is better. And I have been to both.

Again, I'd rather play for a bigger prize pool against the best, than eat prime rib. But that's me....I do like prime rib, though. Of course you can go from Belmont to Peter Luger's in Brooklyn which I recommend if you can do it next time your in NY.

I go for the food because I am not good enough to win.
