Propro wins the contest by hanging in there and making solid selections, pulling ahead with his final pick. Great job! Heartbreaking loss for bertconvy after leading from the get-go only to be collared on day 39. He made it interesting on the final day, though, and came within a length of taking back the lead in the last race, last day. This is a tough son-of-a-bitch to win. Anybody with their name on that trophy earned it. One big $ horse doesn't sew it up for you. I had a $105 winner and I finished fourth. Thanks to everyone who participated once again (Spanky, we miss you), you are the ones with the tough job of grinding out winners over forty days. I just have to stay reasonably sober, with a calculator, pen, and paper at hand. But I appreciate your kind words. I can't believe next year will be fifteen years. I still remember sitting outside on a cold January night, trying to come up with a contest we could all play during the Saratoga meet, that didn't require daily attendance, which would hold people's interest for 36 (now 40) days. Seems to have worked out alright. Thanks a lot!

I take it the ultra creative Mr. Convy has closed down the chase for the prize going to the 1st player to nail 3 winners at prices of $20.00 or more? That's quite impressive only 7 days in.

This is for the separate prize after 20 selections . Only those with less than 20 selections can possibly beat BertConvy’s 20 selection score. Both you and Italian Stallion have made more than 20 selections to date

I haven't scored Thursday yet, which is why your totals aren't updated. I see that I put the wrong date in the title above when I changed it yesterday, so that would definitely make you think I had...lol. Just so everyone is aware, there is a scoreboard at the end of every daily selection thread, and there is also this scoreboard that gets overwritten every day as I update it. Just in case I need to go back and check someone's score, there are daily snapshots. Not that I ever f*ck up anybody's score...

Tenfurlongs $105 winner on his final pick of the first half (20 picks) to post a 4/20 $146.80 knocks bertconvy's 3/20 $123.00 off of the top spot on the first half leader board.
12 players still playing the first half, and it looks like they would need a $105 winner to threaten Tenfurlongs...
1hooper- 0/9 $0.00 arsignman- 2/18 $19.10 chazaward69- 1/12 $29.80 gallantbob- 0/4 $0.00 indypacer1- 5/16 $39.20 johnnybattbd- 1/12 $11.00 largemac- 1/9 $4.70 nan53- 4/18 $21.90 PonyGirlJCM- 1/15 $21.00 spanky- 0/0 $0.00 triguy237 1/9 $21.00 wrightstuff- 0/11 $0.00

It's closing day for the first half prize. Tenfurlongs (4/20 $146.80) looks to have it locked up.
7 players still had a shot.
1hooper- 0/15 $0.00 chazaward69- 1/12 $29.80 gallantbob- 0/4 $0.00 johnnybattbd- 2/18 $19.20 largemac- 1/9 $4.70 spanky- 0/0 $0.00 wrightstuff- 0/11 $0.00
But only johnnybattbd made selections today. he had two left in the first half and made 3 selections today. unfortunately two have scratched. "R10 #5 Yes to Mischief" will need to win and pay $127.60 to tie Tom.

Thanks B. for making it fun to check out the selections thread every day, you got a talent, man. Sorry that you got nipped at the wire. If it makes you feel better, I've finished second TWICE, so there's that. Probably doesn't . Be well, see you around.

Brilliant effort by Doc to end up exactly even. Probably a record for number of contestants above $100 . Some years that would have been a winning score . This year you don’t make the top 12 !
