Congratulations to Jimhorseman on capturing his fourth Northfield monthly handicapping championship in June 2010 with a final bankroll of $7,151.00. Kangaroox made a late bid, then faded a little but still hung on for second place with $4,362.80.
Thanks to everyone for participating in this fun (and sometimes aggravating) contest. Hopefully, a month off will give us some time to sharpen our skills, get some yardwork done and maybe rebuild the patio deck. Good luck, stay safe and we'll see everyone back here in August!

Congrats, Jim on a well deserved victory. Sorry I wasn't more competition this time. See you in September, my summer is getting booked up rapidly, and I'll probably miss too many cards to stay competitive.

Trackrat & Cliff, I appreciate the congratulations. Seems like I caught the right month where the traditional heavyweights had an off month. Cliff missing the bulk of the racing dates makes it a bit of a hollow victory but one which I gladly accept. Kangaroox swings for the fences and hits with enough frequency that I was nervous through his last bet.
The bad thing about no July contest is that I've been on a decent contest roll and want to keep it going. The nice thing about no July contest is that I can keep the mythical crown through the summer. Guess that is the only way I was going to keep it away from Cliff, Trackrat or The Believer.
By the way, going to be in the clubhouse of Presque Isle Saturday evening where I will watch the Northfield card. In the Battle of Lake Erie, early I like Hypnotic Blue Chip. If anyone happens by the clubhouse of Presque Isle Saturday night feel free to stop and say hello to my friends and myself.

Jim , congrats on a great job of handicapping in June , amazing when you consider the tough race cards we had to use darts , crystal balls and decks of cards to come up with our picks. LOL
Hope everyone has a great July and looking forward to the August contest.
