Tom, where do you find the time for all that you accomplish? You are already hosting the Saratoga contest, and it must consume a lot of your time and effort, what with the posting of the daily threads, keeping track of our stray picks, making sure that the wagering window closes at High Noon, and then doing the daily scoring. Whew! Now, in your spare time you are also able to host a one day contest on three tracks in two different countries that involves races 5 time zones away from you. I'm just hoping that you don't need to convert the payoffs from Pounds or Euros to Dollars to do the scoring.
By the way, this is my way of expressing my thanks and admiration for all that you do.

There is a problem here. Three players selected horses from Killarney Race 5 (4:35). The contest race is Killarney Race 7 (5:35). I provided links to all the races, so I'm not sure how you got to the wrong race. My first inclination is to give PonyGirl, Badactor, and tc the favorite here. If you are watching live, make a new pick. We'll sort it out.

So I just got off the phone with pony girl and she was unaware of the results of the final race... until I told her just now.
Since we play by gentlemen's rules here at upinclass... The lady's word is the lady's word. Interesting conundrum. I'll abide by the ruling of the Chief Steward.
