Eric also qualified to the 7/11 $3,000 Keeneland Challenge

I'll also have Eric's company next Saturday in the Keeneland Online Summer Challenge. It's a good thing there's more than one prize.

Finished 6th! $2000 cash, NHC & BCBC seats. Also get to keep the $13,412 bankroll. Not bad for qualifying on $41.

Eddie checked in 40th, making up the entry fee and cashing out a $3000 bankroll.

Eric, what was the format?  Care to share your plays?  

[elkurzhal]

George - format was $2000 bankroll, had to bet $400 min on 5 races. Could bet more if you wanted. Contest races were the full Keeneland card.

Unfortunately once the contest was closed I can’t get back to the wager log.

This was my cheat sheet of notes, *’s were the races I most wanted to play.

1-2/16/5*
2-10/69/5,*
3-5/39/6,11
4-2/34
5-3/58/47
6-13/1,7/8,10*
7-2/6//3
8-4//1,2,6
9-3/57*
10-4/310 *

Wagered $400 on the first two races and blanked.

Made about $200 worth on the 3rd, 4th, & 5th combined, and somehow made $0. Was a little down at this point. Had I bet the 3rd and 4th with a full $400 instead on the 1st and 2nd I would have done pretty well. At this point I couldn’t cover the 3 minimum bets i needed to make. My plan was to bet the 6th for $400. If I missed I would bet enough on rushing fall to get back to $800 for the last two races.

Race 6 bets were
$1 tri box 1,7,8,10,13
$10 tri 13 / 1,7,8,10 / 1,7,8,10
$10 tri 13 / 1,7 / 1,7
$100 win place 13

Was at $9831 and in 7th about $200 behind Bobby Flay.

Passed the 7th

8th
$10 tri 4 / 1,2,6 / 1,2,6.

Made about $500

9th
$50 DD 3 / 4,10
$20 tri box 3,5,7
$50 tri 3 / 5,7 / 5,7
$100 win 3

Should have played an exacta but the win bet made me about even for the race and had the double alive for about $2500 to both the 4 & 10

10th
$100 win 10
$20 exacta box 3,4,10
$20 exacta box 4,10
$20 tri box 3,4,10
$20 tri 3 / 4,10 / 4,10

Hit the double and the win. Cashed about $3800 as Mighty Scarlet busted up my exact and tri

Ended with $13,412. Just about $1000 ahead of 7th. Top 6 got the BCBC seat so the 6th/7th cutoff was a pretty big deal.

Just saw that TC won the qualifier to The Big one Saturday. Congrats TC!

[tc]

Thanks, Eric. I appreciate it.

No way I will be able to compete with the likes of you and Eddie. Hopefully, you will both be so tired of winning that you will decide to take that weekend off.  

[elkurzhal]

By your picks on HT Saturday you would have beat us both in the Keeneland contest. Don’t sell yourself short and go win The Big One!
