As this year’s contest draws to a close with Propro a clear winner once again it is time to open the contest for 2020 where a $100 Otis Special awaits the winner as well as the name on the trophy to follow Propro in 2016, Cherokee Scot in 2017 and Propro again in 2018 and 2019 (I might actually get round to buying a trophy this year)
Here are the slightly different rules of the 2020 Contest
1. Players must select 4 horses in January 2020 running in claiming races that month - to be eligible the horse MUST be in for a tag 2. Players will have a bankroll of $100k No credit is given for any unused bankroll but you cannot go over the limit. 3. No two players can claim the same horse , so first person to make the claim gets preference. Claim must be made prior to race. 4. To be eligible for selection the horse must be making its first appearance of the year in January ( this makes scoring easier) 5. Winner is player with highest earnings according to Equibase. Players will be expected to keep their own scores and post updates. 6. Earnings count for the whole calendar year including the first race that you make the claim so it’s important to get off to good start
Any questions should be posted in this thread
Good luck.

Thanks Bev! It's fun feeling like a faux owner without all the vet and stable bills. :-) Hoping for another lucky run in 2020.

Once might be luck , twice could be coincidence but three times is the charm. Time for the rest of us to step up our game!

Not all PA breds are the same...I think Gotta Be Strong should go for a tag in her first start of 2020. :-D

Nice pick Bev. She's expensive for this year with 4 picks, but I was watching some of her races yesterday. She'll have some wins this year.

Claim #2 Jan 1 Laural Park Race 7 #3 Bustoff $25,000 Sorry Diablo but Bustoff is not in for a tag so this claim is disallowed My bad Diablo. Although Equibase is not showing him in for a tag , the PPs and overnights do so your claim is allowed. Thanks to Ten Furlongs for pointing this out.

Regalian disappointed but Archummybaby got me off to the fast start I wanted . Both horses were claimed so I must be doing something right.
Total after day 1 $28,158.

I don’t know why you’re claiming horses at Tampa as their purses suck e.g $16k claimer at Tampa purse of $13,200 $16k claimer at Aqueduct purse of $36,000.
