Thank goodness for Arlington Park!

That is probably what Garett Skiba went to bed thinking, dreamt about, and woke up on Sunday morning feeling after his four bankroll busters at the Chicago track buoyed him to a win the $10,000 Saturday Tournament.

“Arlington Park is not a favorite track, despite my proximity,” Skiba confessed. “I just happen to really enjoy both [Arlington] Million Day and [Arlington] Million Preview Day.”

SkibaScorecard3Skiba could have won the tournament based solely on the strength of his scores in the four Arlington Park races in the tournament. His horses included:

  • Ausus ($26.20) in the Modesty Handicap
  • Infinite Magic ($37.20) in the American Derby
  • Temeraine (18.00), the runner-up in the Arlington Handicap
  • Pataky Kid ($22.60) in the Coach Jimi Lee Stakes

 

“My best bet, who just missed, was Temeraine in the Arlington Handicap, who went off at 29-1,” noted Skiba. “His last, on Kentucky Oaks day was a Graded Stakes caliber $100k optional claimer with the likes of Big Blue Kitten and Rahystrada. He had no chance in that race given the fractions.  While he didn’t win the Arlington Handicap, I still earned capped place money.”

In addition to the $5,000 first prize from the weekend’s big game, Skiba also padded his bank account with by taking an $800 Head-to-Head matchup at Belmont Park, proving his handicapping prowess extends well outside the borders of his home city of Chicago. In what was surely a contentious match, a paltry bankroll of $17.50 was all that was needed after eight races to secure victory.

“I find Head-to-Head matches one of the most enjoyable types of tournaments,” said Skiba. “Playing a Head-to-Head match is a great way to have a vested interest in each race in an entire card without having to put your bankroll at risk…”

Consolation prizes for the $10,000 Saturday Tournament were hotly contested with Pete Manzo just edging out Tom Anderson for the second place spot by 10¢. That ten cent different meant that Manzo picked up the $2,000 second place prize while Anderson went home with the $1,250 third place prize. The contest paid down to fifth place.

Skiba has been a DerbyWars player since March of 2012 and enjoys the wide variety of game offerings and the easy to use interface.

“My biggest recommendation is to keep good records of the types of games in which you excel,” advises Skiba. “There are a lot of sites out there for tournament players, but none with the full menu of games offered by DerbyWars.”
