This week's contest is titled "You Can Bet On It" by Mike Shenk

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a word related to horse racing.

You Can Bet on It - spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

And kudos to our newest muggle - @Clark E. Tripe for a great inaugural MMM this week. If you have not done it,
Happy Anniversary! is a great meta.
