I see what you mean, i sent them a comment on where to enter the darned thing. At least there won't be alot of
competitors :zz

OK HERE IS HOW YOU DOIT -

" You post your picks by going to the handicapping section and picking the race. For example, For the Fountain of Youth, go to the handicapping screen, click on Gulfstream as the track and then click on race #11 as the fountain of youth. From there you will post your picks in % form. So if you think Commissioner and Top Billing each have a 50% chance of winning you input 50 next to each entry and then hit enter. Your picks need to equal 100%.

By inputting your information into the FOY and the risen you are automatically entered into the contest."

Hadnot heard BLECH in a while

It is different and at first i had the same type response but then i thought that maybe i would learn something from it all as i donot make my own lines and this would make me think a little more for my handicapping in the future.
