There seems to be a nice interest of people on this forum wanting to play games for real money (Golden Balls Challenge, WoV Football Picks Conetst, etc...) would there be enough interest to have a handicapping contest for the ponies? Maybe put up $5 to $10 of real money to play a lil game? Just curious.

I was about to make a joke about a baseball bat and handicapping horses but not even I could stoop so low! I'll stick with gargling bloody aborted baby parts.
Someday, joor goin' to see the name of Googie Gomez in lights and joor goin' to say to joorself, "Was that her?" and then joor goin' to answer to joorself, "That was her!" But you know somethin' mister? I was always her yuss nobody knows it! - Googie Gomez

What are the rules?
What if one uses physical handicapping and needs to see the post parade before betting/picking?

I will participate. I will be known as 'dead money'. I do have a pedigree.... my father was a bookie, and I worked at Belmont Raceway as a security guard, and had the privilege of guarding Spectacular Bid. But my handicapping ability is limited to picking names I like.....

In 1979 when Ron Franklin blew the Triple Crown or 1980 when Buddy Delp conned everybody and got a walkover of the Woodward Stakes ?
