Contests Galore

Tweet If you're a contest hound, this weekend there's plenty of opportunities to get your groove on. If you're from New York State, the OTB's $75K challenge begins for qualifying for the championships to be held in Albany on the 24th, $20 entry fee. See here for all the rules and regs on the contest. We'll be trying our hand at that one via a couple entries as the contest is on the 11 "Super Saturday" races at Belmont. The contest is strictly for number of winners selected.

Since we'll be capping Belmont's card already, we're fortunate that a free Equibase contest is also taking place on Saturday for races 3-10. Talk about two for one. This contest is your standard $2WP on each race with the normal caps of $42 and $22.

The Meadowlands Survival Challenge contest is underway and the Space Gal and I both survived the opening day thanks to 9th race winner Islandprospectbob. I hopped off 6th race winner Carte Blanche ($25.40) after learning from my boy GG this morning that they were going off the turf. *banging self in head* Don't forget that the Meadowlands.com is one of our TBA sponsors of the Filly & Mare Turf divison.

So we'll have one eye on Belmont and the Meadowlands this weekend and the other eye will be on Hoosier Park for the Indiana Derby (G2). Check out my NTRA blog (should be up later this morning) for full race analysis on the Indiana Derby as a prep race for the BC Dirt Mile.
