What are you talking about? MU was life and death to hold off Point given in the Juvenile and only won due to Stevens\' scenic route-- 8 wide-- to the line.

Again, the contest rules should be the same ones they have at the track. Why should someone be forced to bet any amount on a race he or she would not bet otherwise? And if someone is crazy enough to bet it all on 1 horse to show or on one super, which neither of these gentlemen is likely to do, then so be it. By requiring that certain races or certain amounts be bet, you\'re eliminating one of the most, if not the most, important aspect of handicapping, namely selecting which races to bet and deciding whether or not such races are \"prime\" betting opportunities. I would even go so far as allowing no bets, a strategy which would win against more than 80 percent of those who enter more traditional handicapping contests.

Uno was all over the track that day as well. Regardless, Macho Uno had the best late energy ability in the race. Point Given was a decent animal in an extremely mediocre crop. He never could beat Uno and would have lost to him Saturday without a doubt. Life and death Haskell to beat Touch Tone and Burning Roma and I can\'t even remember who showed up for the Travers. What a joke. Was one Dollar Bill?...lmao.

ahahahaha!!!

jesus.....
why is it every time I make a post, somebody replies to friedman??
you dudes DO know I\'m not len friedman, right?
I couldn\'t even call him an acquaintance.

listen, when I post my picks in the contest thread, just read them and skim over the rest --- instant mano a mano.
I hadn\'t really planned to hang around after the belmont, but if you really want more contests, I\'ll think about it.

as for the rules, I yield to whatever HP + DP settle on --- right now, I think they plan on \'anything goes\'.
I already made my suggestion, and the only thing I wouldn\'t care for is one of those \'winners only\' things.
