For contest participants the Redboard Room is SO aptly named. In the last mandatory race of day one I cancelled out a ticket on a horse that went down to 3/2 at GG. Of course he drifted back up to 5:1, won the race and it cost me winning day one and $10,000.
After as Jerry put it so well, the obligatory 8 hours of prep time we move to day two, where my partner (my Dad) and I passed on a 17:1 shot at again the unpredictable Golden Gate. You guessed it, a winner totaling $47 that probably cost a top five finish.
Yes it is like work. Yes it's intense. But if you love horse racing and thrive on competition it's also a lot of fun. A big thank you to Jerry, Alan, Bill and everyone at Thorograph for the product and support that gives me the confidence to get into a winning position in these events. Now I put it behind me and go back to my "day job." See you all out there battling in the qualifying events throughout the year. Best of luck.
