Attempt to pick 1,000 straight horses who fail to win
 

I will take at least five horses a day. Some days 40 or 50. Here goes with my personal attempt to pick 1,000 who can't win.



Del Mar Race #4: Emerald Island

Del Mar Race #5: Searfavoritesecret


Presque Isle Downs Race #6: J's Wild Bud


Hoosier Race #5: Absolutely Good


Hoosier Race #6: Perpetuate

I hope PG starts posting on this thread.

I'm in. I will attempt to pick a non winner of every Saratoga race between now and when the meet ends. The first couple weeks have been easy...trust me.

i bet on the side that you will no doubt be able to do it

They finished...

9th beaten 34.5 lengths, 6th beaten 12.25 lengths, 7th beaten 20 lengths, 8th beaten 15.5 lengths, and 9th beaten 16.5 lengths.

Five down, only 995 more to go.

Out of curiosity, what were the approx. post time odds on most?

They were all between 58/1 (lowest) and 85/1 (highest)

I'm only taking horses which I believe have a 0.00% chance of winning. On the weekends, there's hundreds of them ... I choose a minimum of five per day though, because of Tuesday cards when only a few tracks run.

Bums for Thursday:


Canterbury Race #2: Nix Krews

Canterbury Race #7: Jayembro

Canterbury Race #8: Mocha Polka


Charles Town Race #3: Our Longfellow

Charles Town Race #5: Mr. Catalpa

Charles Town Race #5: Angry Lil Stinkbug

Charles Town Race #7: Caressing Tide


Evangeline Race #6: Flyin Curley


Hoosier Race #1: Styln Bonnie


Prarie Meadows Race #8: Trick Kitty

As a companion to this thread, I would like to keep track of how much actual money is lost betting in these horses over the course of the challenge. I didn't note the exact amount yesterday, but I know it was well over $5,000, so we'll start with that amount. So through day one:

# of horses: 5
# of wins: 0
total amount lost: $5,000
ROI: $0.00

If for some reason, Doug, you don't want me to do this I will not, but I thought it would be fun to see how much money people have to throw away.

Also, for those following along, Trick Kitty is actually in the 9th at Prairie.

Bums for Friday:


Calder Race #8: Jacks Risk


Charles Town Race #6 (I could have a F'ing field day with this race) Dazzling Iolate

Charles Town Race #9 Linda's Wildcat


Evangeline Race #1 Tee Blue


Evangeline Race #7 Halo's Jubilee


Hoosier Race #8 Seach The Lou


Presque Isle Downs Race #8 Here For the Music

One of them scratched -- the other nine all ran and got crushed.

14 down -- only 986 more to go.

None of them have yet to finish within 12 length of the winner.

Today's picks were all on lesser circuits, so with smaller pools the total amount bet to win was $1,715. So far:

# of horses: 14
# of wins: 0
total amount lost: $6,715
ROI: $0.00

Bums for Saturday

Canterbury Park Race #1: Sammy Ray

Canterbury Park Race #6: Lady Powerscourt


Delaware Park Race #2: Shezoutahere

Delaware Park Race #8: Fragancia


Ellis Park Race #4: Barmaid

Evangeline Race #11: Big Lee's La Tee


Finger Lakes Race #5: Short Term Vision and Tree Climbing Cat


Prarie Meadows Race #5: Trick Kitty

Prarie Meadows Race #9: Tuft Banana

Parx Race #6: Papa Floyd

Parx Race #10: Go Marching In


River Downs Race #7: What About Maeve

Saratoga Race #9: Lincoln Penny

Woodbine Race #4: T D Bob

All 7 of them lost. Five of them finished dead last. So far, none of them have been close to even finishing 3rd.

21 down...only 979 more to go.

Lincoln Penny sure has been moving in the wrong direction since leaving the Weaver barn...

Had a nice score at Belmont with him when he broke his maiden.

So today yielded another $1,737 lost on these nags which bumps the total to a healthy $8,452.

Bums for Sunday:


Canterbury Race #8 Orfan Ole

Charles Town Race #6: God's Grace Valley


Del Mar Race #3 General Causeway

Del Mar Race #6 Catienus Gold


Ellis Park Race #5: Mr Gues

Ellis Park Race #6: Emotional Release


Mountaineer Race #7 Speedy Bullet

Monmouth Race #7: Joey's Genie

Saratoga Race #2: Kate Me Mate

Saratoga Race #5: Ginger's Joe

Portland Meadows Race #5: Jazzoomin

I love this thread. Good luck Doug. And I love the actual $$ burned.

4 Scratches -- and 11 horses who ran and got buried. So far none of the 32 horses have finished in the top 4.


32 down, only 968 more to go.

Today was a good day to part the fools from their money, as the picks had a total of $4,581 bet to win, bringing the total lost so far to $13,033.

I did not have access to the individual pools at Parx so based on the result chart I estimated Go Marching In had $250 wagered on him.
