Let me outline the concerns here.

1- The competition rules explicitly forbid a person submitting multiple entries under any form of device or artifice. The two entries I've highlighted clearly show signs of joint-enterprise collusion (if they don't, why isn't Ozzy promoting, or even mentioning, his own entry?). It's one for the lawyers as to whether this violates the letter of the law, but it sure appears to violate the spirit.

2- The "it's a good cause!" angle is being plugged heavily. However the entry, and all the forum spams I've seen, fail to specify how much, if any, of any prizes will go to the cause. I asked Ozzy directly in this thread, and he chose not to answer. The NYRA publish their cashflow details on-line, so if anyone is curious how much of the organisation's income is paid out as Executive Director's salary, it's easily accessible.
My hackles always rise when "it's a good cause" is plugged, where there's an unresolved point over the vested interests of the plugger.

3- It's being spammed. That's breaking the competition rules. Deal with it.
