I'd like to start off by saying that I have no clue if interest in this will exist at all or grow over time. I hope the latter, of course, as horse-racing is something I am interested in the "real world", as well. If it already exists through a known channel/method, please use that one and let me know, here!
This weekend, the 5th/6th of November, the Breeder's Cup races will be held at Churchill Down's racetrack. I am offering to take bets on the final race of the cup: the Breeders' Cup Classic.
In trying to be transparent here, I'm posting a link to a sample parimutuel log.
Sample Log Here
I will create a new one, and post a link here to that - once the final entries for that race are known and I can make the spreadsheet out on google docs.
Some rules/information:
Race: 11/6/2010 - Churchill Down's - Race 11 (Breeder's Cup Classic) 1 1/4 miles (10 furlongs) - $5Million Purse - 6:45pm EST

Gambling
Send ISK (in whole dollar amounts only) to Gilbert Hamilton (this character) and your choice of which horse to win.
- I will reply with your ticket confirmation code within a few hours. This will be needed (along with your name) to claim any winnings.
- Ticket sales will close at 10PM EST the night before the race. (at least this time around. it's just me.)
WIN POOL ONLY while I see if this idea gets off the ground at all.
BET PLACEMENT IS CURRENTLY CLOSED while we wait for the final order/entries to be decided. (We are still early.) BETTING WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY EVENING (11/3) at 8PM EST (the toteboard for this race will be avail, too, and posted here in link form.)
As soon as possible, I will update the google spreadsheet toteboard, and I suggest you use that as well as any other "real life" odds to help determine which horse to bet on. Equibase is a great resource for that, as well as the race pages themselves.
Thanks for your time. I hope this is the proper forum area, and if it is not, I will have it moved I suppose. Any questions, please send them my way.
Thanks!
-Gil
