Sorry about that, I guess I'm still in the Spa mode- that was 1:05 right? Or am I thinking about somewhere else?

Spa was anytime between 12:30 and 1:00 pm. - depending on the # of races for the day. 11:35 a.m. Travers Day. Belmont until a couple weeks ago was 1:05, but it's been 12:50 for the past couple of weeks.serenassong wrote:Sorry about that, I guess I'm still in the Spa mode- that was 1:05 right?

With only 30 minutes to post for the first race and only 9 of 15 contest members signed up for today's stakes pick, I can only guess that several members are still having problems signing on to the forum. Hope the problem gets fixed soon.

GotaDunQH - $1,080

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ABOUT OUR NEXT STAKES DAY VIRTUAL WAGERING
OUR NEXT VIRTUAL WAGER DATE IS THIS COMING SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19th
There are 7 stakes races on the card. We'll ramp this up a bit to give those who could not participate the last couple of times a chance to catch up. Instead of picking one horse and 2 alternates in one stakes race, we'll make it a pick and 2 alternates in THREE (3) stakes races. That's for everyone - not just those who could not participate the last couple of days.
ADDED BONUS - if all 3 of your picks in the 3 stakes races hit the board (come in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd), you double your money.
Picks must be in prior to the running of the 1st race which is 12:20 PM EDT

We should postpone the contest till everyone is able to post again. I think that's only fair to everyone!

Can't do that since there's only one more day in the contest after this Saturday, and this Saturday is the biggee.Raven wrote:We should postpone the contest till everyone is able to post again. I think that's only fair to everyone!

We're just one day away from NYB Stakes Day at Belmont, and I've only received one e-mail. And that was just asking if the e-mail I gave out was legit.
So far, I'm the only one listing picks which is unusual with only 24 hours to go. I went out on a great big limb posting my
e-mail publicly. I hope those of you who can't post take advantage of it and get entered in the contest. But, then, maybe you don't wish to divulge your e-mail to me???!!! I just don't know what else I can do to help out as we limp along waiting for things to get fixed.
I just don't want to see the contest fold. There's a nice prize for the winner. More than that, I don't want to see TBC fold. I'm still not quite over us losing everything from the old site. Prayers for TBC's recovery.

Its a very strange situation. My TBC is working perfectly fine. I have no trouble logging on or posting. Something is rotten in Denmark. Just don't know where.

I'm starting to handicap this now, and I have been in contact with Neighhey, so I'm sure I will get something from her in the next 24 hours or so. I really don't know what to say about this whole situation.Ballerina wrote:We're just one day away from NYB Stakes Day at Belmont, and I've only received one e-mail.
