Congratulations to all the winners, especially Badactor for becoming the first two-time winner! Salute!!

I will put up a thread on the Breeders' Cup Forum a week or so before this year's Breeders' Cup at Churchill Downs (Nov 2, 2018 – Nov 3, 2018), and you can post your wagers there.

Thank you Cherokee Scot for providing the Daily Recap, it adds a real depth and delight to what might otherwise be a dull, dry numbers exercise. Outstanding work, I enjoy reading it again when we're buried under winter and need a sign of better things to come.

Thank you also to Ziggy for providing the PPs, which was even more important this year with the Brisnet debacle. Highest marks!

Thanks to the members who added funds to the prize pools this year! We were able to award some good wagers, I hope others will take up the banner next year:

I believe WrightStuff has some swag for the top three, as well as the trailers. Thanks Eddie!

Finally, thanks to everyone who takes the time to participate here at the forum, and specifically in this contest. I just keep the pond stocked and the clock set, you all catch the fish and make the stories come alive. It's a lot of fun, isn't it?!  

See you next year.

Outstanding effort again Tom even more so this year with all the scratches.

Congrats to all of the winners and especially good buddy, Badactor! It was an exciting event right down to the wire. Many thanks to Tom and Bev for their ingenuity in keeping this going for so many years and in such an enjoyable way. Having retired in April and then seeing yet another horse named after me (FIXED INCOME LARRY) LOL, I took a step back and a hiatus from prize sponsorship this time around but I promise I will be back in the future to support this great event. Thanks again to all who supported it this year!

Congrats to Badactor and thank you to all those who spent countless hours tabulating and keeping track of scratches, changes, etc., as well as the lively daily recaps.
This must be quite an undertaking, and although I have historically not performed well in this contest, I look forward to it each summer.
Well done to all!
