Select a horse for each race for both days of the meet. Each day will have a daily winner and there will be a grand total winner for the highest accumulated bankroll over the two days. Bankroll will be based on US returns of $2 win, $2 place (note, they pay first three in Ireland). Daily winners will receive a $10 win bet on the Belmont Park July 4th card (Suburban, Manhattan, Met Mile) or the Epsom Derby/Oaks card in GB, also on the Fourth of July. Grand total winner gets a $30 Otis Special wager (you bet, we split) on either of those cards. Post your selections in the appropriate thread in the Handicapping Contest section. Non-runners go to the post-time favorite.
Entries and such:
PPs:
Best of luck!

Dell's post about Monument Valley reminded me about one of the finest scenes ever put to film (and music!), that being Jill's arrival in Flagstone from Once Upon a Time in the West. If you just want to see the Monument Valley scenes you can skip to 5:35, but then you'd miss the epicness of it all. Thanks to Sergio Leone and especially composer Ennio Morricone for creating this. (Also, if you are a movie nerd like I am, the rising crane shot above the train station, at 3:10, was the inspiration for Tarantino to do a similar shot up and over the Van Nuys Drive-In sign, at 1:50, in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He's the biggest movie nerd of all...lol.)

Anyways, I digress. Back to racing.

Good stuff, Mr. Williams... I'll bet you appreciate
Touch Of Evil with that great single-shot opening.
And of course, the brilliant single-shot steady cam scene in Goodfellas.

Orson Welles was a genius, and way, way ahead of his time with his creativity. That continuous shot that opens in Touch of Evil is just brilliant. Watch it once just for the entertainment value, then watch it again right after and think about where the camera is at all times...crazy! The Goodfellas walk-through is inspired too. The camera as audience, putting you right in the scene. If you can't smell the food as they are walking through that kitchen, you're not trying hard enough...lol. Ray Liotta's finest role, other than his Chantix parody.
