So as I stare at the Mobius Strip that is the Woodford Reserve figuring out what the hell to do with it for the Saturday Analysis...

Assuming it stays on grass (extremely likely) we will give a $100 sheet credit to anyone who can put the super on this string on a 4 horse box. Has to be posted at least half an hour before the race so no confusion.

Yeah, I know it would pay a lot more than $100. But your possible ROI is infinity. And I ain\'t got a lot of upside.

(I came up with exactly 2 throwouts in a 12 horse field).

Anyone who can work an MC Escher reference into a horse racing post deserves a Pulitzer.

This race destroys me every year, so this offer is greatly appreciated.  Put me down for 1,3,7,8

*EDIT* I was always partial to \"Relativity\" by Escher

Hey JB:

Could you add free lifetime admission to TG Saratoga seminars to the prize?

Do I get a set of steak knives if I can guess who the two throw outs are?

11 - Big last number.  Should be long odds.
12 - Another with a good last out fig. An improvement could win this.
4 - Coming back a bit quick.
8 - Young enough to maybe get some improvement.

Edit:  Don\'t need no box.  Playing it straight!
