Hollar back!
If it is set up like this I'll play. Someone has to finish dead last in this contest, might as well be me.

Anybody see the extra features on the Double Secret Probation version?

They went looking for D-Day (Bruce McGill) for the reunion. They found him, but he says in the camera "Don't Speaka a no English." Then next thing you know races off in his El Camino. Great Stuff

McGill great Supporting actor. Played a Dick mostly in the 80's and then some good ones from 90's and beyond.

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be in the rear of this deal.

Go ahead and do it. Just advertise it for a week or two so people are aware of it. I would hate to have a contest with only 5 people.

My recommendation, if anyone cares is to run it like GPK used to run his(except please understand the concepts of addition and subtraction). Pick two-three meets (FG, Gulfstream, SA, Oaklawn, Aqu are all quality meets that are running) and give people 1 wager per day, say $20 win wager.....Everyone starts out with a $0 bankroll. Just do it for Saturday and Sundays so all can play, or any holidays where most people are off work.

1) Put a $40 Win cap on it
2) Start it Thanksgiving weekend and end Derby weekend, May 5th, that would be 24 weekends....
3) People are allowed to miss 5 weeks without getting penalized the $20 wager
4) Start a Saturday and Sunday thread saying both tracks, and the wager has to be in 10 minutes before post(easily verifable via DRF/Equibase) (kinda like the claiming rule)
5) Post results by Tuesday afternoon......

You could even change up the tracks on a weekly basis based on what the cards look like, but I think it would be nice to offer two tracks per day instead of just one.....We should also just have a certain amount of tracks to pick from, so I don't talk anyone into using Los Alamitos or Cal-Expo.....

Are you saying that Kevin doesn't understand the concepts of addition and subtraction?

Alright - I will (thanks Rev) be the cat who gets this animal out of the box and running. Not tonight, however. Me is tired and hungry. I am off work tomorrow, so while I am hanging out at Beulah betting on Beulah and Deleware I'll think over the plan and post it tomorrow night.

Scav, I agree with some of your suggestions, but not everyone on this board has Saturday's and Sunday's off - need a different approach.

Will post tomorrow! Look for the contest to start next week!

90% of the people here look at race cards on Saturday and Sunday, I can play any day but I can't take it as serious as I could on Saturday and Sunday.......
