Countdown to the Cup Saturday
The free-to-enter Countdown to the Cup Handicapping Contest continues Saturday with racing from Santa Anita. Featured are five Grade 1 events including the Zenyatta Stakes where super-mare Beholder is expected to start.
Last Saturday the Countdown contest track was Churchill Downs, and very chalky race results were the norm with six of the 11 winners paying $6.60 or less to win. Only about 1,800 total points were available.
Here are the weekly Countdown to the Cup winners:
LAWRENCE VITEK 1145 PTS $250 prize
RICKY GRANGROTH 1028 PTS $100 prize
JACKIE HALVORSON 1022 PTS $100 prize
JERRY LANE 1020 PTS $100 prize
PENNY REUBEN 1013 PTS $25 prize
Perfect Pick pot $3,000
There were no players correctly selecting all winners of the 10 pro football games last Sunday so the prize pool grows to $3,000 for this Sunday’s round of Perfect Pick. Entry deadline is noon. There is no entry fee to participate but minimum wagering requirements must be met for maximum prize payouts.
