Default Colonial Downs Online Contest.

Geesh again, another one...wasn't gonna post this one but what the heck..it's a short one...Had heckova time trying to log on and re=register.
Finally had to sign up again with different email...anyways..



Colonial Downs in Eastern Virginia, near Williamsburg, is gearing up for their 17th Summer meet. This year's meet is a bit shorter than in the past and concludes with the Virginia Derby in mid-July. The online handicapping contest returns with the same format as the previous years.


More than the prizes, we think you'll find this contest unique and fun. There isn't another contest out there that uses the format we offer and best of all, it's free. You'll be asked to make four mythical bets on 4 Colonial Downs races every race day from Saturday, June 16 (Colonial Turf Cup) through Saturday, July 21 (Virginia Derby). Simply put, the highest cumulative bankroll at the end of the four week contest wins!

What a bunch of ^&&^$%&*&^'s. They don't want you to use last years email, so I guess they don't have any plans for deleting it so they can have 2 mailing lists. A new one and an old one.

Yeah, way to go. Lets run a contest for the customers we have and some new ones but lets piss'em all off. By making it difficult for them to enter it
