    Anybody on here going to be at Red Rock for the big event between the 29th and 31st? I will be there and wanted to see if any other members will be as well.

    Good luck out there, Casper! I went here to Suffolk Downs locally trying to qualify but didn't come close.

    Did you make it in through a contest or tournament? What's the buy-in otherwise?

    Red Rock has an awesome Sportsbook.

    The TV screens are as big as movie theaters.

    No I didn't win a seat. I am going to try one more time 2 days before the tourney at Red Rock in the last chance contest. If not, I will still be at the casino watching and capping the races. I live right down the street from the casino.

    I'll be at the horse racing world series three weeks after. One one free roll and 500 expenses last year. In many ways its a better contest than the national championship. Or so I've been told by people who have been to both. Still I have a goal of getting to the national championship at least once.

    good luck in that handicapping contest. but it is really a longshot stabbing contest that actually has nothing to do with handicapping. most of the players just look for the best longshot that has a marginal chance of winning and when one does about 50 players have it. good luck.

    Jeff, hopefully you will swing by and I can meet another SBR member. Unusialsusp5, I agree a lot of luck is involved, but I have learned from playing in a bunch of tournaments this year that their is a strategy when you bet. I look for price, and the ONE contest I took first on, my longest shot on the board was an 11-1 shot.

    This actually sounds like a lot of fun...

    Not sure how dated or valuable the info is but Stanford Wong wrote a book about horse racing that includes a few chapters about tournaments...
