Anyone have the results. How did our fellow posters do?

The results are here. I had very few good opinions this BC and finished with zero. For the third year in a row, I bet my whole bankroll on Flat Out.

For anyone thinking about playing, this is by far the best contest out there.

It is not cheap. But, you get great treatment. We had a table in the Trophy room ( a few tables over from John Elway) a great buffet, a box on the finish line for Friday and reserved seats Saturday, plus more.

Tim Schram does a great job and you will be well taken care of. I can't recommend it enough.

I can't believe someone caught and passed McFarland after he hit 2 different races for 50K trifecta's.

Paul, any details on the what races and wagers they hit the big scores on?

When I saw that on the feed, I was shocked. I'm guessing it had something to do with Juv Fillies, but I can't remember when I saw it on the feed.

It was a crazy ending. The leader going into the last race bet $29,000 on the Classic and lost. The guy in second bet $4,000 and lost but still ended up winning because he bet small. From what I was told, he has one winner the whole contest. He bet $3,000 to win and had the exacta with the Engelhart horse who paid $66. Without the DQ, he ends up with nothing.

There is no possible way that McFarland should have lost. He is partners with Christian Helmers. Helmers had two entries (one in his own name and one in his mothers). The second entry had more than $65,000 half way through and finished with almost nothing.

They are very big bettors. In the end, I guess they couldn't help themselves and gave away the contest. In that situation, you have to make the people behind you come and beat you. You can't beat yourself.

Of course, it is easy for me to say since I was nowhere in this contest so I didn't have any tough choices to make...

Tim Schram is awesome no doubt. For what it's worth he said Saturday he's working on putting together more qualifiers next year to grow this further.
