I will be handling all the wagers, probably through {twinspires}. Post here if you have any questions.Thank you CherokeeScot for providing the daily recap, it always adds a real depth and delight to what might otherwise be a dull, dry numbers exercise. You had a tough task, with some difficult days to summarize what we witnessed. Outstanding work. Thank you also to phlierfreak for providing the PPs and other links, they were a huge help! Thank you to Badactor for posting the streaming links to 'Saratoga Live' and the various handicapping shows, it made everything very easy to find and follow along! Special thanks to the contestants (you know who you are ) who donated to the prize pool and made this tournament a success! Finally, thanks to everyone who takes the time to participate here at the forum, and specifically in this contest. Forty days of racing seems like a long grind, until you wake up one morning and it's Labor Day weekend. That went fast. It's a lot of fun (sometimes ), isn't it?! Be well, and check in here at UIC from time to time for other contests and content. Until next year. TW
