Louuuuuuuuu!

I cashed a $2.00 win ticket on him. That price was quite the overlay.

Tabulating the results now.  Please hold all tickets!

*** The Final Results ***

If we were playing with real money, assuming I did the math correctly, the cost to play would have been $3 (there was no show betting) + $12 + $18 + $30 = $66, so no one who played their tickets as picked would have come out with a positive result, especially @pcmark! 😉

The final results are attached below. Please let me know if I made a mistake in any of the calculations.

1st Place

@maywoodal

$63.20

2nd Place

@niekh

$55.80
3rd Place

@bgtolex25

$51.00

The problem is that apart from Sweet Loving Lou, there weren’t really, any value horses ..

The Apex/Big Ranger exacta was an incredible payoff at $18!  And if you liked those two, wheeling the rest of the field for show in the trifecta was another nice bonanza.

Apex, paying $7.80 to win, was a huge overlay too.

Likewise, the Captain Albano (thought he was an overlay to win as well, but only played the exacta)/Prince Hal Hanover exacta payoff was a healthy $62.40.

Woman Layer winning at 17-1 was another overlay.  I wasn't paying close attention to that race, so I didn't catch it.

And the Miki And Mini/Twin B Joe Fresh exacta price was a healthy $10.20 for what was clearly a two-horse race.

All in all, I thought the racing was very exciting. So many epic finishes.  And getting to meet and spending time with @niekh?  #priceless

 

Great job top three!!! I also ran. Also Ran would be a great stable name. Glad the two of you met. When's the next contest? Have to re-stake my claim to #1.
