I'm WAY ahead of you, Buffy. All the way to the 9600's. I'd feel worse if I weren't tied with kasept!

Zero points so far from Zito and Gomez.

Who is the new DT League leader, "CSDunn Stable"?

I am down below 12,000, but strangely optimistic. Sort of like when they give you your last cigarette before the firing squad. Not really. Actually I think that I am better off than I was last year at this time when I had already lost 2 or 3 of my runners to injury. I had Yourtentormine, but I don't think he ever made a race after the start of the contest. Not sure what happened to him, but I imagine he was another casualty of the Derby trail. Haven't lost any to injury so far so I guess potentially could still make a few points with the ones I have.

Im at 1091 but I think I am pretty much out of the running for a jacket. It appears that I probably cannot make up any ground because it is likely the people ahead of me have the same combos of jocks and trainers and many of the same horses.

And traditionally April is where my horses drop off the face of the earth. I tried to go with some trainer, jock combos that might be a little diff., but in the end I had to do Pletcher/JV (everyone and his mother) and ONeill/Nakatani. So I separate myself from no one here. Maybe my new additions will be fruitful.

IMUSTHAVEAJACKETWITHOUTBUYINGONE. And that requires top 25... rats.

Spoke too soon. Ravel out, but hopefully will recover and that means more than how myself or anyone else does in a contest. Wonder if this might change the plans for Stormello?

I moved up a few hundred too with Hard Spun's win, but you and everyone else still kicking my boody. Should do better in the Florida Derby since I have half the field. One I am a little worried about is Notional. Don't have him. Which ones do you have for that race?

I only have Stormello. Going to have a slow weekend if he doesn't come in for me. I believe he is my only runner this coming weekend so next week I will be back in the 10,000s somewhere.

I've got Scat Daddy, Adore the Gold and Drums of Thunder on my top team and Scat Daddy, Notional and Stormello on the other one. Hopefully, someone will come in for the win (preferably Scat Daddy!) LOL

I wasn't sure. Is Chelokee running this weekend? I guess it would help if I found that out.

Nice lineups. I've just got Adore the Gold going. (I'm at 8797.)

Yes, but you are in the thick of it for the coveted DT League Cup! Good work. I'm getting killed by my 2nd trainer (Zito) and jockey (Gomez). Zero points from each.

I have them too. Don't feel bad.

I took a chance and left Scat Daddy out of my original picks. And I'm so frickin stubborn I didn't add him in the draft. Probably my demise.

I did too. Glad to know I am not the only one. (I even left off CQ) I went with Ravel. Going to be my demise...

Yep, you guys left out the Kentucky Derby winner. (I hope he wins.)

You jumping ship on Liquidity? He had a very nice workout.

Not completely yet... I'm pretty concerned with his ability to run outside of California, though. His run in the Louisiana Derby was disappointing to say the least.

I honestly don't have a fave at the moment. I honestly thought by now I would have my derby horse or atleast be closer to having two or three horses. BUT I am totally up in the air about who I like.

I like a few including Scat Daddy, Hard Spun and Zanjero. A lot is riding on their next prep, obviously. I don't need to see a win from Scat Daddy (although that would be nice), but I want to see him finish strong within a few lengths of the winner if he doesn't win the Florida Derby.
