Default 5th Annual Saratoga Meet Contest

Once again we will conduct the most fun, interesting, and difficult handicapping contest of the year, The Saratoga Meet Contest. a 40 day extravaganza testing your wit and will against your DT family.

The drill is simple. You get 40 x $20 wagers to make over the entire meet. Best ROI wins. You can bet in what ever manner you want but only $20 on one horse at a time. You can bet more than one horse in a race.

I'll have a wagering thread to post your pics, and when you win, you'll be responsible for posting you winning on the winning thread.

Should be fun. You in?

In.. Thanks for running this. Can I make a recommendation, last year there was some grumbling about players blowing all their picks and getting in under a different name. Why not require all players to make at least 1 pick the First Fri-Monday and not allow anyone to play who hasn't.

I appreciate your comments, but, I challenge anyone to cheat and win this contest. Since it's my contest, I'll say right now, cheat if you want to. If this contest means that much to you, honestly, send me a PM and I'll help you win!











for a small fee.
