I've heard nothing but good things about the Col contest, & following their races on a regular basis should give you an advantage, since the contest races are limited to those at Col. That & relatively low prize money usually limits the size of the field, another advantage.
There is one thing I would suggest if there's anyway you can manage it, namely convince a trusted friend or two to tag along so you can circumvent the one entry limit. You chances tend to increase exponentially with extra entries, & you avoid making the wrong choice between live 30-1 & a 16-1 shots, as I did in the 1st contest race at CD today. Of course, it wouldn't have mattered if Probable Payoff gets up in the 8th, in which case I win the contest & cash a pk4 worth many times what the winner of the contest got. You might even remember PP's jock from Kee, none other than Water Gap's regular pilot, Shelley Moran. THAT WOMAN OWES ME MONEY!!!!
