The connections for Best Chip, Ayeaye Captain Deo pay Canadian Pacing Derby fees

Woodbine Entertainment announced that Best Chip and Ayeaye Captain Deo paid $40,000 in supplement fees for the $690,000 Canadian Pacing Derby. The annual subscription to this fee will automatically renew at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. The offer is available to new and qualified returning subscribers only, and can be canceled at any time.

Best Chip, currently the fastest horse in North America this season with a time of 1:46.1, has won seven of 12 starts this season. Ayeaye Captain Deo, the co-fastest horse in Canada, has a time of 1:47.3 and has won three races and placed in the top three eight times from 12 starts this season.

Both horses will be competing in the Canadian Pacing Derby and Milton Stakes races on September 5 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Supplement fees are paid to enter a horse into a race after the closing of the original nomination deadline.

10 Million Free Tokens: A Token-Budget Field Test on a Free Server

A teammate received a free AI coding allowance last month. He burned it in two days. Not on complex architecture. On repeated full-file rewrites. Each rewrite consumed thousands of tokens.

  • Budgetharness.py logs requests for token cost tracking in CSV format
  • Free server handles short tasks well but struggles with long completions
