[Rick]

TVG is having a free NTRA qualifier next weekend, top 4 to qualify.

Details on http://www.tvgnetwork.com.

"The TVG Handicapping Tournament will be held on Saturday, December 13, 2003. Players will pick one horse per race, and mythical $2 Win/Place wagers will be made on that horse. Ten races will be selected from TVG partner racetracks."

Anyone got a list of which tracks those races are at? Here's a start:

R2 = FG R5
R5 = FG R7
R9 = FG R9

The NTRA website now identifys the track, although not the race (yet).

Here is the full race schedule

R1 = Aqu R7
R2 = FG R5
R3 = CRC 9
R4 = CRC R10
R5 = FG R7
R6 = CRC R11
R7 = CRC R12
R8 = TP R10
R9 = FG R9
R10 = Hol R8

Thanks HBee,

Finally figured them all out. Could TVG/NTRA have made that any more difficult? Also noticed that they (TVG) didn't show but approx. 5 races live. Everything else was way after the fact. As usual CRC gave way to HOL once it went live. Doesn't make any sense to me. Having a contest involving races they could show live but chose not to.

Anyway, my day was a typical day of zig-zag. Had 2 entries, ....mine and the GF's. Hit the first race-capped-my ticket. Hit the second race-$41.40-GF's ticket. All told - 5 winners and 2 places but split up betweenst the 2 entries.

Final tally - Me $77.00 (after cap) for 107th, GF $69.00 for 158th. Coulda, woulda, shoulda.

Cliff,

My day was the same. I was actually 'alive' going into the last race. At that time I was 27th (out of about 2100 entries)with $98 and some change. The 3rd spot was $119. I had a 10-1 shot as my pick. Well, my horse was involved for a while, but couldn't pull it off.

It was fun, though.

Good cappin' Herman. We'll get 'em next year. Or, preferrably, already be qualified and not need to mess with it :D !
