The contest for 2023 is now open 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 , Propro again in 2018 and 2019 , Indypacer in 2020 PhlierFreak in 2021 and Quick Call in 2022.
Here are the rules of the 2023 Contest
1. Players must select 4 horses in January 2023 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 by 15 minutes 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 7. If actual claim is voided by the stewards or vet then your claim is also voided 8. You may claim more than one horse per race. 9. Cancelation of intended claims must be made at least 24 hours before the race.
Entries for 2023 should start appearing in Equibase in the next couple of days. Any sensible questions should be posted in this thread
Good luck.

It is the thrill of the chase. I absolutely suck at this. 2 forgettable years and 8 very sad selections. However, I am not a quitter. I will once again embarrass myself to no end. No Fear!

Wouldn't be a claiming contest if I didn't pick a PA-bred and didn't pick a maiden (usually a bad idea). Getting this in one pick...
1/1/23 GP 1, Spy Novel $25,000
Good luck everyone!

what happens to your claim if the horse scratches in it's initial race? what if the race (card) is cancelled?
|

Post by cherokeescot on Dec 29, 2022 21:16:06 GMT -5
Obviously if your horse scratches or the race is canceled then the claim is void.

Good job. I gave Straight Shot a long look but didn’t pull the trigger quick enough 😜 He's a standout at 20k if he could race for more than 3 or 4 months, which is something he's never done.

Regarding Nurse Judy Whitney .. only two starts .. 10% trainer currently 0fer9 so he's due ..
improved work .. improved second time out .. I'm guessing it gets claimed by a better trainer
who sees an upside to this $2,500 horse. Sire Cairo Prince was precocious, but maybe you're right.
Why did you erase your question. I'm no softy, I can take it. If I'm about to make a stupid play
and you can teach me better, I don't mind at all. Regarding my $60,500.. will there be an opportunity
to pick up a $60,000 claiming horse? I don't know I rushed this whole thing.. note that all three are Sky Mesa.
That's my angle.. but I may have to rethink. Keep those challenges coming it's the way I get better at the game.
Thanks in advance.🐴❤️ Sincerely, Ronaldo.

don't insult my horselets(TM). and i never have and never will brag about playing claimers; many good friends have specialized in judging and betting them but i prefer the big-boy races where only the occasional race every 10 days

Dell , I’ve never seen a claiming price between $50k and $62, 500 so if you have one horse left and $60,500 to spend you will be leaving $10,500 on the table. ps. I might actually bet Nurse Judy Whitney even though Brisnet has her down to finish last. She could hit the board at a big price. Nurse Judy for the same connections was third and claimed at Tampa Bay Downs yesterday. www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/briswatch.cgi/public/SpendThrift/MALIBU+MOON/1997/summary.html
