As this year’s contest draws to an exciting close with Indypacer looking like the narrow winner it is time to open the contest for 2021 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 and either Indypacer , JolyB or Badactor for 2020. (I might actually get round to buying a trophy this year)
Here are the rules of the 2021 Contest
1. Players must select 4 horses in January 2021 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
Entries for 2021 should start appearing in Equibase in the next couple of days. Any questions should be posted in this thread
Good luck.

7. A claim cannot be retracted. If you post a claim and have a second thought you are stuck with the horse.Makes no difference if you void the claim 10 seconds after you post it or 10 seconds before the horse competes in said race.

Sorry Doc , I’m missing your point. Can you please clarify ? That was a rule from the 2019 contest. Would you like it reinstated ?

1/1 AQU R6- Montauk Daddy ($25,000) 1/2 AQU R5- Creative Style ($12,500) 1/4 PRX R7- Shanghai Superfly ($35,000) TW Had a fortunate start to the 2021 contest as Montauk Daddy outran the field at Aqueduct, earning $19,800 in the process. Somewhat surprisingly (to me anyways) he was not claimed, so he stays with Rob Atras' barn. First and only time I'll be leading this shebang, lol! TW

I was called out on a voided claim, that at the time,I didn't see any rule forbidding it. Hey Doc , I’m sorry if you got screwed over. Trying to make it as simple as possible nowadays and if there are any disputes going forward I will take a common sense approach to resolving. Cheers Bev .

Hey Propro , as a three time winner could you maybe give some pointers to first time entrants and TC with the view to making the contest more enjoyable and successful for them .
Thanks

Thanks Bev, You sure you don't want me to give a master class on the subject of claiming race horses? Let me know. I'll see if I can put some powerpoint slides together

Tony , I looked at all those horses and discounted them , so I’m pretty sure I won’t be needing to ask for your birth certificate for trophy engraving purposes. Thanks for the Costanza video. Most enjoyable twelve minutes so far this year.
