Are there any results posted or anyone know how Jerry is doing in the big handicapping contest?

I am there in the contest..currently pitching a shutout trying to be too cute....As far as I could tell team TG was also in same boat as me...but i don\'t know with certainty. We did talk and he may not have pitched a shut out....

Some dude had the Perfect Shirl Exacta for 200 and won a cool $32,400

The guy sitting next to me in the contest had $200 on the Perfect Shirl exacta one way in the wrong direction.  All he ended up with on the race was $65 to win on Perfect Shirl (which is way better than anything I did today).

So I\'m still wondering, not being critical, but why wasn\'t Perfect Shirl included in the analysis? Obviously some of us interpreted the data differently than the analyst did. I know it\'s a lot of horses to review and write about, and record audio, etc.  But that last figure jumped out and she was 50-50 on TG data to either pair or run a new top.  Gold.

The winner came away with a 7K Win-ticket (last stab) on Dross plus the 1st place winner share of ~130K for the contest - a shade under 250K altogether.
