SBR Kentucky Derby Contest: May 3rd-4th

sweep · 04-15-13, 07:49 AM

definitely in...what do you mean when u say max of 2 posts per race?

Noles1992 · 04-15-13, 08:20 AM

Sweep My guesstimate is last year someone might have put a race pick in early, than change there mind and repost. Than again on raceday change it again. I know its been a great contest over the past few years, but has to be a pain to grade for Reload. GL! Looking foward to it Thanks Reload And DD!

BGboothA · 04-15-13, 08:45 AM

Exactly, Noles!

I set that limit just so we don't have each person adding a post here or there with another play, or replacing a prior play, etc. It gets too hard to grade with a lot of different posts.

There will be a separate thread open for each race. All you have to do is make one post in each thread with all of your picks for that race.

Then if for some reason you want to change the picks, you are allowed one additional post that replaces the first post entirely. So let's say a horse gets scratched or the odds shift a lot from where you thought they would be - you can make one more post to replace the original.

I find it's been a pretty fair way of doing it.

Yes - non-pros can play. As an FYI, there is an entry fee of five SBR points.

Only 3 races for Friday. Seems a bit light don't you think? I know we ran more races on Friday last year.

We've always kept Oaks Friday to three races so there is more focus on Saturday. For the Breeders Cup, we did have all of its Friday races.

san2c · 05-03-13, 09:59 AM

thanks for doing this again Reload... I love horse racing and these contests are always a good time

sweep · 05-03-13, 10:11 AM

Loader- Check your PM's ....

Taking a stab here and just going with a $10 ex bx 2-7 in every available contest race and a $20 ex bx 2-7 in the derby. Not going to have time to handicap all races and post in threads. GL guys

Not bitch'in asshole. Just asking a question. Fuk off!

pixster · 05-03-13, 01:24 PM

Even though I don't follow horse racing all that much, every year I make sure to tune in to the Triple Crown races. Exciting stuff, especially heard on radio.

We're in the deep stretch with just the Kentucky Derby itself to go! playersonly69 keeps inching closer to the lead but is still second to Wrigley.

Will Wrigley hold on? Will someone cash from the back of the pack? Anything possible in the finale with double the bankroll!

Good luck all!
