How about opening weekend.... the first Saturday card is a great one.
sure, I\'m in.
if you don\'t see me here that week to talk smack, post @ The Sheets board to remind me.
keep tabs of your results --- we can have separate totals, and running totals.
Why not have a contest every Saturday? Nothing serious, maybe just for fun and bragging rights. And make the bankroll 100 instead of 1000 which would force the players to be more selective in their wagering.
I think you posted some suggestions re the Sar contest in another thread, but unlike the Rags Bd a wide variety of people with disparate opinions post here & it\'s not as easy to locate posts. Anyway, if you can get a read on approx. how many people are interested in fairly short order, I\'ll see what I can do re tix, with no guarantees. As crazy as it sounds, given the logistics it might even make sense to go low rent at one of the picnic tables near where Hardoon does his seminars, with the added \"benefit\", if you\'re so inclined,of seeing what David, Tiznow, One Who Knows, Kournikova & the rest of that fun loving gang look like. I did last summer & it is an experience I will always treasure. I\'d also be glad to put you in touch with the guy who runs the FG contest if you need software, & can help anyone who needs it re rooms. Who knows? Maybe we can even convince JB to do a seminar that 1st Sat. The only thing I ask for myself is freakicus, who probably won\'t be brave enough to show up anyway.
I think Superfungus will be there, he will spend the next month agonizing over the one bet he could have made to topple me and make it into the third spot. First Saturday of the Spa meet includes the Test and Diana, my two favorite races of the meet. I think it would be an ideal day to have the contest. We could include contestants at the track, as well as guys who post on the board here. Go to work.......... I don\'t think we need to worry about tickets, the first W/E up there is usually a relaxing one.
dude, I thought you meant another board contest --- I\'m not flyin\' out there for this crap.
I can go down to the otb if I want to bet saratoga, and there\'s no crowd.
I went for easy goer\'s travers -- it was brutal.
OK....missing some good fun, but picks can be made via the board here.
I\'ll be there. Just let me know where you guys will be.
