whippoorwill Old-Timey Member Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Well, six days, 2 of them are weekend days, which as we all know, are much shorter…
kcmets Old-Timey Member Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Wasn't there a proverbial shoe-in cover that's a can't miss?I checked PointsBet, there's no action this year. It's nice thatthe home office hasn't sold out to the online gambling advertisers.I heard late September that FanDuel and DraftKings were pitching their hearts out to get some sponsorship this year.
Benjamin Grimm Old-Timey Member Posted October 26, 2023 Author Posted October 26, 2023 I don't know... I scanned over the batch of covers (214 so far, which is not many; see chart below) and none really jumped out at me.Two years ago, Newsday's THAT'S ALMORA! was an early favorite that went on to win the title. I'm not seeing anything like that this year.
