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'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.

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. Last edited by ranger5830 : 08-09-2012 at 11:56 AM.

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 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.
