Oooh Des, thanks for setting this up. I love these contests. Now I have to put on my handi - cap to make my selections!

Shergar · Postby **Shergar** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 11:27 pm

Great, Im in!!!

In a couple of days I will have all the picks to stay the Hell away from.

Last year I finished dead last in the contest. I aspire to finish next to last this year.

Though I must toot my horn a little and confess that when wagering I changed my bet in the BC turf to what I had posted. I ended up hitting the exacta to make a bit of a net profit for the day.

Assuming all goes as usual in my life, this year, I will post all winners here online, but change my actual bets to all losing bets

All the best to everyone,
Shergar
