Thanks for the kind words.  It'll be my first HPWS, 3 days is going to be a grind.  I'll do my best to keep you all involved in how we are doing during the contest.   Looking forward to meeting some of you there too.

Congrats on you Breeder's Cup weekend handicapping. Hope you find many longshots in February.

Looking forward to meeting you in Vegas.

Our Champion's flights from Indiana to Las Vegas (and back) are booked,
and our UpInClass tournament entry @ Horse Player World Series is set.
Eric, you will be receiving a confirmation letter from The Orleans...
and you will be added to the list of 2012 Qualifying Site Winners

Today, UPINCLASS.COM became the first online horse racing forum
ever to send a player to Coast Casino's Horse Player World Series!

Wonderful idea and great work to make it happen.

If only I could be as good as I once thought I was!!!!

Can we get Eric to wear an UpinClass polo shirt / baseball cap to the big dance ?

I will certainly chip in.

how about letting him check out one of those kilts...he'd look bitchin'!




b.d.

This just screams UP IN CLASS, don't ya think Eric?

The sporran is way too high in those illustrations. It's supposed to protect your valuables !

ps Maybe Dell can use his photo shop skills and paste Elk's head onto these to give us a better idea of what he would loiok like.

Now, when you say the sporran is too high, you mean protect your money...or your "jewels"?

I guess I do .

A double entendre is a figure of speech in which a spoken or written phrase is devised to be understood in either of two ways. Often the first (more obvious) meaning is straightforward, while the second meaning is less so: often risqué or ironic.

Where I come from we wear britches...not skirts with fancy do-dads to protect our family jewels!

Poor Eric,

Besides all the Handicappin' study he has to put in each day to win you a dollar or two. You now want him to spend a couple of hours each morning ironing his pleats .

Thanks William.  

I finally got a new phone and should be able to post here regularly from the contest so everyone can keep track of how we are doing. 

quick question from the absent minded.....

12 contest races per day or 15 or ???

thanks.

plays per day and contest tracks are listed above...

HPWS gives you 15 plays per day, $20 W/P with only the first $2.00 paying track price if fortunate enough to latch onto a maximum odds winner. With 60-75 daily races to consider, one needs to know his/her strengths in deciding where the serious time commitment to handicapping belongs in order to stay fresh yet give yourself a legitimate shot at filtering out some winners. For me, it'll be Turf races and full fields of maidens (not the professional 10K claimer type races) I love to break down the breeding in these events and then look for the value.

LL

Good morning, Mr. Kurzhal... I hope you have a nice flight.
We'll see you at the airport. Try to be sober by the time you hit Vegas.
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY... May our tournament quest be a winning one! ~ Dell.

Go Gettem Elk! And all UIC'ers.

GrandpaDeee

If only I could be as good as I once thought I was!!!!

ELK, I wish you success and a good time as well. Best of luck to all of the rest of the UIC players. I'll bet that no one will have any difficulty locating your table, especially after one of you hits a price winner.

Good luck to all. Larry , the third race at Gulfstream on Saturday should be right up your street. Maiden Special Weight over the turf with full field. The connections of the 7 are supposedly good people.

...sssooooo....how are 'we' doing...?????....
