The thing I don't like about this "contest" is that if you're good or lucky enough to select a 60-1 horse, you should be good or lucky enough to get credit for a 60-1 horse. The contest also pushes real handicapping away from solid low odds horses, besides not giving credit for really astute bomb plays, (Not that they occur that often). The point is if your gonna penalize short price selection and reward middle price wishing, reward it fully. Its a "Window" game. It boils down to fictional plays on mid price horses with a runners chance firing and I don't like that. It seems contrived. The leaders did cash on some nice prices, but you have to wonder how many of them bet real money with both hands.

When the format is changed to the number of winners and place horses selected per selections regardless of odds, I'll consider it a contest of skill.

Are either Chris or Mall in the top 10?
