Come one, come all...Anyone who wants in on the contest just has to post their picks (one primary selection and optionally one "in the event of scratch" selection) for each race on the card. Consolidate your picks into one post and make sure your last edit of the post is no later than 11:30am on Saturday...make the post in this thread please.
I don't care if I win... I just want to finish ahead of the pros like BTW, and if he enters,Kasept....

I'm thinking that Antitrust voluteered to keep score...if she needs help I'll lend a hand.

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 ?

Sorry to hear about that. Glad she is OK. We have been pretty fortunate so far with trips to ER, but our guys are still pretty small.

I remember growing up, my brother was there like once a month. They would always take him aside and say, "did you really jump off the roof and hurt yourself, or did somethig else happen. It's ok to tell the truth..." Give our parents lots of credit for putting up with us....
