Melbourne Cup Contest: 50K Sweep HORSES RELEASED

[Rebecca Rose Hepburn]

Ok, I'm in

[Peter Gleason]

ok so we need 2 people...I'm going to sell horses to people tonight for the money. just remember to return the horses to me. although I'll distribute yearlings I really don't want so if you want to keep the horse I give you, I probably won't have a problem. But I digress...

If we don't get the two people, I think I'll just take out the two longest horses. Hopefully it doesn't come to that since it'll be messy if one of those two horses does happen to place. Or come last

[Chani Ruzzo]

if there is a spot still open i'd like to join

[Peter Gleason]

Horse Sent to you!

One spot left!

[Peter Gleason]

Hey I'm going to do the draw now

So we have 23 people and 24 horses. Decided that now was the best time to do it since I have a bit of free time at the moment. I'm going to take out Gallions Reach from the sweep. He 's 200/1 and I don't think he'll be competitive in the race. I'm going to pay his 50K share but he's not in the sweep. So if he comes last, second last will win the last prize. If in the unlikely event he comes in the top three, the results will move up. i.e just say he wins; second will get the first prize, third will get the second prize etc.

If a horse is scratched, the person with that horse has the option of taking Gallions Reach or getting money back

Going to post the results of the sweep after everyone has paid.

Didn't copy well; doesn't matter. We're doing it by gate number, not saddlecloth number.

[Peter Gleason]

Ok I did it. I'll post the horses once I get all the money just in case the people who haven't paid yet get bad horses and want to pull out...the situation could get messy

If you're curious who you have and have paid me, shoot me a message

Thanks to all those who entered

[Brooke Adams I]

If we get to pick, I'll take Roman Emperor please

[Lori Hamill]

Thank you Peter for getting this altogether. I don't understand a word of it which is probably a good thing.

Crime Scene wins = Money is all you need to know really

[Leonard Beagle]

When is this race, and can I watch it here in the States?

[Tasha Langley]

Would it be possible to take the last spot for 50K? I just saw this thread tonight.

EDIT: Oh I guess it was filled. Never mind.

[Peter Gleason]

Hi Tasha

There is one more spot you can go for - since there was only 23 people entered, I left out the outsider of the field - Gallions Reach

If you want that horse for $50,000, I wouldn't have a problem with that

Alternatively, you could join the 10K sweep so look in that thread if interested
