The prize money means nothing to me. I just want to compete and prove to myself that I can handicap with the best. Entry fees need to strike a balance to weed out the casual gamblers, but not to price out the dedicated horseplayer and I think you have struck that balance.</p> <p>My biggest beef is the NTRA website.
