Introducing Predict the Finish Order Challenge

Starting next week and going until the Breeders' Cup I've decided to host a little contest. This contest is called Predict the Finish. What do you do you may ask? Well you predict the finish of selected races. If your horse finishes in the place that you post, then you points.

Here is an example of what I mean.

Lets use last year's Kentucky Oaks as an example:

My predicted order of finish (hypothetical):

1. Nan
2. Rachel Alexandra
3. Tweeter
4. Be Fair
5. Stone Legacy
6. Gabby's Golden Gal
7. Flying Spur

And the actual order of finish

As you see the chart, only Gabby would have earned me 3 points. For each horse's position you get right you get 3 points. The person who has the most points for the week wins. For right now the prize is bragging rights, however I'm going to keep a running total of points and the Overall Winner will recieve a prize which will be detirmined at a later date. So what are the first races for this? It will be the Arlington Races next week (Secretariat, Beverly D and Arlington Million).

Entering will be very easy, leave a comment on the PTFO post on Weds. I hope that everyone enjoys this challenge!
