Title: Results
Post by: TGJB on January 27, 2014, 02:49:38 PM
Looks like the best finishes by our guys were 5th and 6th. Considering there were at least 3 limit bombs the first two days that nobody who relies on speed figures could ever have, not bad.

Jamie Michelson got both his tickets into the top 50, which is quite a feat.

Winner wired,amazing. Read the second place finishers bets,was maybe best pure handicapper.Arias terrific feat picking multiple bombs, deserving winner.

Contest trying to emulate \"final table\" like WSOP,just another attempt to generate more interest in clueless blind stabfest format.

p.s. Next time tell the jock it\'s ok to leave fence, if necessary!

Didn\'t tell Mike to tell him to stay on it, though he knows in general we like to save ground. Actually hit that super on a 4 horse box, bet very little after a bad weekend.

Usually what I tell them in 2 turn races is save ground first turn, try not to be too wide second turn.

Serling texted me after the race that the kid should be selling shoes, which might be a little harsh... but funny.

Might have to sell shoes myself if NYRA doesn\'t get a handle on the ridiculous surface changes,race to race, day to day.

Quite a few jocks give bone head rides time to time, it\'s in the X factor column when trying to beat the game.

Re the NHC contest,one capped turf winner was competitive on TG, surprised more did not have him.

Does anyone know where I can find the final results for the 50 finalist.  All in all I thought coverage by the media was horrendous
