Arlington Park Contest
 
I just wanted to share the good news that I qualified for the national handicapping championship at the contest at Arlington Park today. This will mark my fourth trip to the NHC and now with the tour in full swing will no doubt be the most exciting.

The second at Santa Anita (Power Blitz) at 20-1 and Aqueduct's eight (Temporary Saint at 11-1) were the key plays along with several single digit horses. I turned my starting bankroll of $60 into $166.

The guys I had talked to said there was a $44 horse at SA that came in and whoever had it was in good shape..very nice job

pweizer 04-05-2008 10:14 PM
There were at least 20 people who had that horse. I was just fortunate enough to follow ikt up with a few more.

I came in second at lone star today but I qualified for the Lone Star Championship Tournament in October which will determine berth in NTRA contest. I also had the second at SA with Dreysdale's horse with a $50 WPS.

You qualified with $166, I would have gotten that easily today, DAMN IT. I would have had Recapturetheglory and Tale of Ekati, per my lower thread.

Congrats Paul, that is awesome.

i am going to give the september contest a run again...

Those were great picks. However, with a $2WP format, Recapturetheglory and Tale of Ekati would have returned a combined $65.70 (They payed $73.70 and cost $4 each to bet at $2WP). To get to $166 is still not so easy.

Great job Paul.

Again, you did a great job Paul.. I would think a very small percentage played Recapturetheglory to win.

It was $2WP, I thought it was $5WP, like last year

Then yeah, I wouldn't have had a shot then because $166 is REALLY good, for that type format....

congrats and good luck!
