What do you think? It'll be fun.

Here's the link from the Breeders Cup website:

Heck yeah! Buffy and I were joking about doing this yesterday... it'll be fun to see how everyone does by just looking at names alone.

Yeah, but with the names in these races (with the exception of the Juvy races), you're going to have a pretty decent idea of who can run and who can't. It's not like you're blindly picking $10k claimers at Charles Town on a Friday night or 300 yard QH races at Evangeline (both of which I tried to do on Friday in AC, but I digress).

Well, technically, yeah... but it would still be fun to pick your fave names and go with it. Obviously, no money is involved here...

Guys, it is only for fun. No prize, we are just playing around. We shall trust people to be honest. There is no prize for this just for fun so why not just pick the name that makes ya giggle. Anyone can play. We shall dub the winner a funny name like "King/Queen Name Picker" (we can come up with something funnier than that though).

If ya want to play, then play. If not, don't. No skin off my nose, wait, I need some skin off my nose... Hee hee. Seriously, ya don't have to play. If ya think it is too girlie or you are AFRAID

of losing to us girls, then don't play.

I will start a thread on the Contest thread.

But then people won't be honest. You heavy duty handicappers will kick butt. It really is just for fun.

slotdirt · #10 10-25-2006, 10:52 AM

Yeah, but your picks are going to be clouded by the fact that you know Balletto can run and Asi Siempre can't, regardless of the name.

Nope, it won't... I am going SOLELY by name as if I don't know who the horses are. Trust me, when you see my name picks, you'll believe me. Half of them I'd never bet for this.

HWJB:

Can you copy this over to the Contest thread? So I have your name and picks right over there.

I am going to print out the picks on 11/4 at 11am. So anyone can make changes to their picks up until then.

You too Pillow Pants, can you copy them over to that other thread?

Thank you both. Sorry for the confusion. I didn't want to offend some on the board with our contest in this section.

Not a problem. We can talk about the contest, just not post the picks here. Right?

Shocked I didn't go with drifty huh?

I wanted to go with him too, but since he's my actual pick, I refrained from doing so.

I would have never have heard the end of it from Slot.

Same here, but I do have a tendency to go with "law" names. Normally do pretty well for me, but I don't know about ole Ron. I like him I really do, but I think he is in over his head here.
