I’d be down for a post-up contest.

I will draw up the contest today (Tuesday) and debut the format tomorrow (Wednesday).
Should be fun.
Not sure we need an entry fee.
Is a $500 winner-take-all purse attractive enough?

I bet the breeders cup and triple crown races, ill follow a bovi tweet. Im way up betting horses lifetime, I don't claim to be a good horse handicapper, why would I want to with 23pct takeout, but I read writeups of other handicappers for triple crown races and Im good at knowing when someone a good handicapper or a bad handicapper, I know what makes sense and what doesnt

How about going to the Alabama thread and take my wager....

I’d be fine with a $20 postup if there’s money being thrown in just to keep the riff raff freeloaders out

That’s what I was thinking... make it some kind of post up amount. Any kind

Agree as well. Plus it will add to prize pool

Submit the picks to JK or ComputerBob, keep Rail from using 2W2P2S picks like last yr.

Absolutely....Railfraud always looking for a way to cheat....
Understood.
Freeloaders will get one last chance this year.
Next year, we will charge a nominal fee (not phenomenal) to participate in all EOG contests.
Another winning idea from ChiTownJoe.
Let's go with Saturday's nine Breeders' Cup races (no Friday action).
A mythical $2 WPS wager on all nine selections.
Submit a top choice and alternate selection to my EOG mailbox.
Entry deadline is Saturday at noon Eastern.

Can we do a separate buying contest also with Friday and Saturday?

Hmm. You should reconsider and make it a minimum $25 post-up with $500 added. We have plenty of horse guys willing to throw in a small fee to keep the fleas away.
BP2, let's go Saturday only and next year I promise to include the Friday races.
The Breeders' Cup is marketing the Friday card as "Future Stars Friday" with the Breeders' Cup Juvenile serving as the highlight of the day.
Fleas are welcome this year, not next year.
The nominal $25 fee should do the trick.
Contestants have the choice to post their nine Saturday selections in this thread or send a PM to me before noon ET on Saturday.

JK....you must have missed this....
Thanks for putting on this contest.
Sounds like the conditions are absolutely abhorrent. The main track there does drain well so it's possible they could get a fast surface by the time the BC races start. But the turf? No way it will be close to firm. And do NOT believe how Churchill labels its grass course. They are notorious for labeling the turf course either "firm" or at worst, "good". A prime example is Derby Day 2017 when the area was hit by a monsoon. The turf course was an absolute bog. Yet Churchill had the audacity to claim it was "good".

And be careful with the European imports on soft turf because while most Euros handle the off going, the ones who are sent to the States to compete in the Breeders' Cup are usually the ones who appreciate firm ground.
I saw it, VD.
Contestants will have the option to post plays here or send them to me privately.
Valued EOG contributor CHEAPSEATS already exercised the latter option.

Will definitely help newspaperofrecord even more. Both wins so far have been on yielding turf.
