So as I stare at the Mobius Strip that is the Woodford Reserve figuring out what the hell to do with it for the Saturday Analysis...
Assuming it stays on grass (extremely likely) we will give a $100 sheet credit to anyone who can put the super on this string on a 4 horse box. Has to be posted at least half an hour before the race so no confusion.
Yeah, I know it would pay a lot more than $100. But your possible ROI is infinity. And I ain\'t got a lot of upside.
(I came up with exactly 2 throwouts in a 12 horse field).
Anyone who can work an MC Escher reference into a horse racing post deserves a Pulitzer.
This race destroys me every year, so this offer is greatly appreciated. Put me down for 1,3,7,8
*EDIT* I was always partial to \"Relativity\" by Escher

4,5,6,12
Hey JB:
Could you add free lifetime admission to TG Saratoga seminars to the prize?
Do I get a set of steak knives if I can guess who the two throw outs are?
Richie-- 1-- yes. 2-- no.
2,3,7,8
How about 1,4,6,9
3-4-6-8
11 - Big last number. Should be long odds.
12 - Another with a good last out fig. An improvement could win this.
4 - Coming back a bit quick.
8 - Young enough to maybe get some improvement.
Edit: Don\'t need no box. Playing it straight!
I\'ll go with 2,4,9,11
Let\'s try:
1, 2, 5, 12
2-4-7-11
ajkreider almost had it. The answer is actually:
4-7-11-12
Kev, I\'m on the 4/7/11/12 bandwagon myself.
Patrick
for me it;s 3-7-8-11
I\'m feeling 2/3/4/7.
OK - 8-7-4-2
2-6-7-8
1,2,15,19
Make that 1,2,5,7. The ability to mutiny task is greatly overrated.
3-4-7-8

2,7,8,11 and I hope Covello wins the race. I miss his posts.

edited with 7 scratching
im game, but this box probably isnt 7-2-4-8 107 degrees in phoenix today. hope louisville is a little better.
Was hoping to get some seminar help on this one. Alas, I\'m a sucker for Maker\'s crew of older turf routers:
4-9-6-3
My actual top 4 is taken, so 4,7,8,12
2,3,4,11
i\'m a sucker for the Oscar nominated pattern. top, off, return to top. time to break through.
George,
Congrats you are one of maybe 3 that has posted a reason for your selections.
I thought maybe this has turned into a dollar and a dream site?
JB puts up a challenge for an impossible heat and it\'s followed by lotto mania and someone took my numbers.... BRILLIANT
just an impossible race....1-2-6-8
3-4-6-12
2-3-8-12
4-6-11-12
2-3-4-8
2-8-11-12
4-6-7-8
Frank,
This is like Buffetomania and the NCAA brackets
The pivotal word in the contest is $100 credit to \'anyone\'.
I assume if 10,000 people hit this 4 horse box, TGJB will give out 10000 x $100 worth of credits or a cool $1 million.
3478 for me.
Tweets count?
Bob

Et tu Brute

who do you get in the oaks/wood/derby pick 3 with the 7 scratch or will there be a consolation pick 3?
4,8,7,2
7 is scratched so change mine to 4,5,8,12
7 out. Change to 2,3,4,8

I\'ll use 2,3,8,12
( if pressed, I like 12-8 to be in the exacta)

Because the 7 scratched, hope I\'m in time to replace:
So 2, 4, 6, 8.
1-2-4-6
With the scratch of the 7, I get the \"post time favorite\" right? since I already used the PTF, I should get the next lowest odds in the 2, which means I win?
Nope.
anybody win this thing?
Crickets, so far. Don\'t remember a lot of 1\'s being used.
