So here we are, Week #1 for the Predict the Order of Finish Challenge. This week there are three races to predict the final order of finish from. For each postion that you get right, 3 points will be added to your total. The one who has the most points at the end will be the winner. While there won't be any weekly prizes, a running total will be kept and the winner (which will be announced after the Breeders' Cup) will get a choice between at least 3 prizes. However those prizes will be detirmined as we get closer to the BC. How do you enter? Just leave a comment on this post with your screename (or first name with last initial if you choose) and the order you think they will finish. Please allow at least 6 hours for your comment to be approved by me. If any horse scratches, then you will recieve 1 point to compinsante (I think this is the most fair for now, hopefully there won't be that many scratches). Here are the three races for this week:

Because there have already been a few scratches the one point for a scratch will still stand. I'm probley going to tweak the rules a little bit for next week, so stay tuned for details on that.
