Day 3 - Pick the Ponies & the Winner IS:

 "Pick the Ponies" horse handicapping tournament at the Las Vegas Hilton completed day 2 on Friday with another day of relatively short odds.  Average Day 3 winning total is $10,552 with today's winner only reaching $6,895 which again is a new record LOW (old record low was $ 7,470) for Day 3 of the 16 contests that I have participated in the past 11 years.

The overall 3 day tournament total was close to the average over the past 11 years of $18,440.  This years top 3 finishers were:

# 148 Mandanrino $ 17,835
#   49 Minton          $ 15,070
#   47 Panaggio       $ 13,980

The 30th and final money prize went to:

#15  Chin $8,935

Given that each entry was given $ 9,000 in hypothetical money at the beginning of the 3 day contest, two people earned prize money for not even breaking even on their contest bets.  First time in my 11 years that this has occurred.

HRT411 earned only ~$2,000 on Friday for a 3 day total of $7,000 to finish in the top 70 but out of the money.

As usual, it was a great contest hosted at the Hilton by Rosemary, Jay and their staff.

Thanks and see everyone next May !!!!
