Gelding World Cup - Handicapping Contest
Life's been hectic, and I'm under several work deadlines, so this is a streamlined version of last year's contest. Only doing the handicapping portion this year - I hope to bring back the other two portions next year.
This part is simple in theory. Pick the winner of each of these four races. On paper, they look pretty competitive. Post your picks no later than post time (W16W, 11pm Pacific time).
GWC Paint Championship
https://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=1621781
GWC Gallo Blue Chip Stakes
https://www.simhorseracing.com/race.php?RaceID=1621708
GWC Roamer Stakes
https://www.simhorseracing.com/racewith ... ID=1621924
GWC Evening Attire Stakes
https://www.simhorseracing.com/racewith ... ID=1621843
Tie-break question, to be used only if nobody picks all four (or if absolutely everyone picks the same four, which seems unlikely):
What will be the winning speed figure in the Evening Attire? The closest without going over will win the tie-break.
Winner gets $100,000.
Good luck, and thanks for playing! Laura

Re: Gelding World Cup - Handicapping Contest
I'll allow a change to the Thursday races if your pick got bumped/scratched. Just post the new pick before post time.

Re: Gelding World Cup - Handicapping Contest
OK, most of you had one winner. I probably should have been clearer on the tie-break, since two people picked the same speed figure. I'll be clearer next year (ie., first come first serve on picking the speed figure), but for this year, I'll give both players $100,000. Durzo and Mel each had one winner, with the speed figure of 90, which is the actual speed figure. Please lease me one of your underachievers for $100,000 to collect your prize - I'll terminate the lease immediately afterwards. Congratulations!
Edited - Durzo actually had two winners, so he is the outright winner. Thanks, Mel for catching that!
