On July 4, 1776, several men, our founding fathers, risked treason charges to sign the Delcaration of Independence.   These men, who would lay the foundation of this country, risked their lives to separate themselves from the King of England.    Now, with the first challenge,  each tribe is given $1000 to risk on the sport of kings.    Tomorrow, is the 2nd leg of the triple crown - the Preakness Stakes.    You will take your $1000 and place a minimum of 3 bets.  You will bet at least 1 horse to win, at least one horse to place, and at least one horse to show.    You must bet on at least 3 different horses.  You can spread the $1000 around on additional horses as well.  minimum bet is $10.  You must bet all $1000.  For simplicity sakes, bets to place payouts are half of bets to win and bets to show are one third.   It is up to your team how to spread around the bets.

The lineup is:

Post	Horse	Jockey	Morning line odds
1	Astrology	M. Smith	15-1
2	Norman Asbjornson	J. Pimentel	30-1
3	King Congie	R. Albarado	20-1

1st Tiebreaker: Name of horse that finishes in 5th place
2nd Tiebreaker:  Time of Race
3rd Tiebreaker:  Order of submission

Tribe with the most money is exempt from the next challenge.  Tribe with the least will vote of a member.   Tribe captains:  your  submissions are due by 2:00 PM Saturday EST

I think you should post the rules on the first page along with the teams.  It would make referencing much easier.
