2/9-10 Autotote Contest is Part of the Tour

[Mall]

Since the Autotote contest is scheduled to take place before Tour sign-ups start on 2/15, contestants will be given the opportunity to sign something indicating that they plan to sign up for the Tour. Anyone who signs and finishes in the top 20 will be awarded points in accordance with a breakdown you will all have an opportunity to review very soon.

Also, for the 2/2 Canterbury and 2/9 Lone Star contests, both of which are contests where you can qualify for another contest which awards NHC spots, the fact that the preliminary rounds are taking place before 2/15 will not have any impact on the Tour points which are earned in the finals.

Unfortunately, there\'s nothing to report regarding what\'s going on in Florida, other than an effort is underway to determine the exact nature of the problem, and whether it\'s something which is capable of being solved, hopefully relatively quickly.

Can we play on line?

If the question is whether you can play the Autotote contest online, the answer is no. If the question is whether online contests such as, for example, Twin Spires and nhc online will be part of the Tour, the answer is yes.
