While the Ravens may not be able to have a home opener this season (thanks to the Orioles)… Baltimore is still home to the one and only Preakness Stakes. Unless you hail from the Bay State and have an affinity for dragging trash cans full of beer into Pimlico, chances are that this weekend’s Preakness may have slipped your mind. Whether you pride yourself on never missing the function, or like me prefer to watch it from a safe distance (on TV), the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown is taking place this Saturday and it is time to pick your ponies!
Since time is of the essence, we are once again going to hook you up with an Excel Rain Man Pony Auction Manager… This time Preakness-style… Obvi!
For all you folks out there who want to put a wager on the ponies this weekend and want to steer clear of an OTB (off track betting) location, the Excel Rain Team has created a spreadsheet that will help to manage your very own Preakness Pony Auction. Whether it be for your cubicle crew, dysfunctional family, or Preakness party people, this spreadsheet will help you gamble… and allow your dignity to remain intact.
Per usual, the Excel Rain Man 2013 Preakness Pony Auction Manager fulfills my OCD spreadsheet needs as:
– It eliminates the chicken scratch handwriting from the pool manager and entrants
– It can be easily printed and/or emailed to your crew
– You can enter in the horses that finished in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place after the race and the winners names and most importantly earnings will automatically be populated in the spreadsheet… now that’s transparency!
The FREE Excel Rain Man 2013 Preakness Pony Auction Manager is a simple spreadsheet that allows pretty much anyone to manage his or her very own Horse Auction, and can be found on the Tips & Tricks page of www.ExcelRainMan.com.
Side note: since the Preakness contenders may change, we have made it so you can update the horses in the spreadsheet if need be. Though don’t worry, we will be updating the Manager daily should there be any changes that need to be made.
