Fabulous Forty

[TGJB]

Good luck to the 40 people who qualified for the NHC and will be using Thoro-Graph data, which is the most qualifiers we have ever had. Our guys won three of these in a row, but it\'s been a few years since then. There\'s room for another plaque in the Hall Of Fame on this site.

Just looked at that list. Some really good horseplayers listed there. Some even better people. Wish the DRF had the scorekeeping a little more virtual for those of us who track it. Good luck to everybody!!!

We\'re having a hard time keeping track of what\'s going on, but it appears to be that one of our guys took the lead in the NHC.

As of 6:06 PM EST, Dave Flanzbaum of Rolling Meadows, IL is on top with $217.00

Near the end, as far as I can figure out 3 of the top 5 are ours.

Unofficially,looks like the nose win by the 6 in the last at GG gave one of our guys a nose (as in 40 cents) win in the contest. Congratulations, Michael Beychok.

Michael Beychok picked the winner in the last optional race (GG R9), for $12.
 
If Dave Flanzbaum hadn\'t increased his total, Beychok wins NHC13 by one dollar.

(NOT official yet!)

It\'s OFFICIAL now.

Michael Beychok did indeed win NHC13 by exactly one dollar.

Here is what a guy winning a million dollars looks like:

What a thrill!

Unreal good!!!

What do you mean by ours? Everyone is giving out free handicap information all over the place - if a guy wins you mean it\'s an \"exclusive\" to Thorograph?
Seems everyone is desparate these days........

Wicked video, Have to love that \"last, gasp, lunge\" at the wire...I hope they can market that well..
Congrats Michael and TG!

Congratulations Mike!!

If you think about the difficulty factor in winning a contest with like 480? people, it\'s mind boggling.The winner deserves every bit of accolade.

Would be interesting to hear from winner Mike as to just how Thorograph assisted him in getting that firster at SANTA on Friday that paid $90+ in a loaded maiden.

Hooh Why, yesterdays bomb,looking like one in too deep,would also be of interest.

Think that Mike could add something to the learning curve we are all on in playing this game.

Couple of friends that were at the Vegas finals met/congratulated Mike saying he\'s a class guy.

Just to be clear-- around 50 people that had accounts with us qualified for the contest. We offered THOSE people free data for the contest in exchange for giving us a plug if they did well. 40 took us up on it. The guy who finished second-- who bought quite a bit of data from us last year-- did not, my assumption is he was not using our data.
