hoop- you may have missed this from the other thread:

Hoop,

I'll add a $10 win bet on the BC Sprint to be awarded however you see fit. I have a special affinity for the BC sprint as I've had the most success over the years in that race.

Oh, I guess I misunderstood that part. No problem, I'll cover the extra twenty bucks then. I'll just have to finish second or better...lol. You don't have to reward me for doing the contest, I enjoy it, but thanks for the offer. And don't give Bev any ideas, he's liable to hold out next year, looking for a better deal to do the Daily Recap .

Also, I don't want to step on toes if you'd like to award 'shoes $10 wager in another manner, it just seemed like an easy way to go.

And just to clarify- it's a $10 WIN wager. I don't want to get hung up on an IRS signer for a trifecta or something. I've gotten stuck before on bets I've made for others (not on this board).
