Congrats to me. Picked two of the top three in Philly and won the over/under on the 65+/55+ women's field at City Park.
Philly Classic
Columbia came, saw, conquered. Henderson launched Greipel for the W and had enough left to hold on for 2nd. I could see this coming also as Henderson is a former winner of this event and loves the course. If I had the guts I might have scored the exacta. Jonathan Cantwell ended in 14th, not too bad either.
City Park
Sure enough, eight 65+ men and only two 55+ women in that prime 4PM slot yesterday at City Park. The over/under was 10. If you had 11 or more, you lose. Didn't think it would be that close but I'll take it.
Side note: Not only did City Park not have a Pro race this year, the 2/3's race they did offer got screwed up anyway. Somehow the lead moto neutralized the field on the last lap of the 75 minute race without proper instructions from the officials at the finish, who wished to continue and score the race. Granted, strong wind and a bit of hail were mitigating factors that led to the confusion. However, when the lead moto yellow flagged the race, he was mistaken. Not sure the gap in communication but needless to say, those 2/3's racing weren't too happy to do the entire race only to have it shut down on the last lap and roll across the line like a tour. Perhaps this is the new way for Colorado promotors to stash a little extra cash. I'm sure they weren't refunding any entry fees after the fiasco and also withholding the prize money on offer. Congrats City Park, better luck next year, if there is one.
