1-5/2 DonGuido - has won the Cup several times before, best year totals ever and hot for sure the last couple of months . . . for real or Memorex or the ghost of the Lone Ranger 2-4/1 Ruffian - the unpredictably predictable filly who always keeps you guessing but has the ability to make a statement when you least expect one . . . like it or not 3-4/1 JolyB - The Professor and well earned, although not his best handicapping year . . . ignore him and you'll be kicking yourself around the Connecticut block 4-9/2 Arletta - The fox in the hen house who is as good as it gets when the going gets tough, be aware of this foxy fox 5-5/1 Plenilune - The unassuming almost apologetic dynamo handicapper, she can pick-em with anyone on this board 6-6/1 Criminal Type - who really knows how good he is, does he know how good he can be at times and if his time is this weekend watch out 7-8/1 Real Quiet - better known in the betting parlors as Sneaky Pete, need I say more . . . he's due to sneak up on us and has nailed this contest a couple time before, long shot . . . not really 8-10/1 Cruzan 200400 and 90210, I jest of course Cruz is a definite long shot play, he is dangerous when you least expect it 9-12/1 Ryonker - money in the bank . . . if the bank is open for him this weekend, enjoy your pick and your ROI 10-14/1 swedejxn - hasn't seen his best all year but he's due for a big showing and can do it just as well as anyone in this field Remember $100 to bet on 1-4 players only . . . as you see fit . . . all win bets . . . or put the whole C-note on one.

Great write up Don. I'll be glad to calculate the actual payoffs on these mythical wagers after all bets are in. I suspect that the actual prices will be somewhat better than the morning line, since the ML ends up with a 50% takeout and I had advertised your wagering emporium as having no takeout at all. This group is so evenly matched that I'm sure some real overlays exist.

Don Guido - $40 [he's shown us the way all year long and seems to always show up on big race days
 ]Ruffian - $30 [she may pick cats and kittens in the ROI, but always makes solid picks in the points contest and has been very consistent all season] Me - $30 [just because you never know  ]

Here are the will pays for each $1 wager. At Don's wagering emporium there is no takeout and no breakage; unfortunately for those who win, there is also no real $. Well, you can't have everything.
Arletta: 4.85 Real Quiet: 5.19 Criminal Type: 8.72 Plenilune: 10.57 JolyB: 11.23 Ryonker1: 11.98 Don Guido: 13.83 Ruffian: 14.26 Cruzan200246: 17.98 Swedejxn: 44.95 A little different than the Morning Line, eh?

Don Guido won the Cup as the Morning Line favorite, and only two players had any of their $$ on him. Our group of players allowed Don G go go off at $13.83 on the dollar, resulting in the following payoffs:
JolyB - ($40 Win) = $553.20 Plenilune - ($25 Win) = $345.75 This was an enjoyable addition to our regular contest. Thanks for thinking of it.

Thanks JB. If I could only pet and maybe kiss American Pharoah on the nose it would make it a great year. As luck would have it, it was my best handicapping year ever . . . never won both the regular season and the Gallivan Cup. It's four for me since I have been keeping track some 7 or 8 year ago. As the saying goes which I am a firm believer of. . . "It's better to be lucky than good".
Maybe it's that time like AP to go out on top. I'll consult with my trainer to see if it's time for me to retire and go to stud   an innocent? reference to a pie in the sky dream, HUH? Dream on DonGuido.Anyway, JB . . . you and Plen took the favorite and cashed in. Nice going. And I'll end it with that. Both of you are much better at the real deal . . . wagering on the right "horses" to make money than I. And as for AP, there's always a trip to Lexington and Coolmore in the future. Anet and I will gladly take a number and wait our turn . . .
