Well, it was a truly sorry performance by most of us this week. Seventeen of us played this race and NOT ONE of us picked the winner. What is even more sad is that only three people got any money at all. 14 out of 17 of us didn't even pick a horse that hit the board.
Congratulations to Buffymommy, AngelSita, and new shooter Viscount26 for getting some money, and to timmgirvan for holding on to the overall lead he established in Race One.
We also should welcome two other new players - Winningsilks and the world-renowned Cajungator26 - to our contest. Although they didn't cash today, hopefully they (along with the rest of us) will have better luck in the future.

Pretty good capping, B.

What made you guys like Lovango?

I had the winner, but didn't see Lovango hitting the board.

Nice goin you guys and Cajun! Unfortunately I was indisposed and couldn't post this week. Great job:)

Although we still had a lot of people that put up $0.00 again this week (including myself), we did have a much better performance than last week. Congratulations to Cajungator26 and trifecta124 for hitting the winner and a BIG congratulations to brianwspencer who nailed the winner and the $85 exacta for the first big cash of the contest.
The good news is that two Chicagoans are now in front, but the bad news is that the new leader of the contest once waited in line for hours in order to get tickets to a Christina Aguilera concert.
That is scary.
We don't have a race next Saturday, but we will have our one (and only) non-Saturday race coming up on the 4th of July (a week from Wednesday) so we'll give brian a full 10 days to enjoy his lead.

Hey, you gotta take the good with the bad!

It was a pretty great day all around for me at Arlington on Saturday. Now all I've got to do is hang on to this lead for another two and a half months....

Don't count on it! :p

Hey Miraja,

Are we playing the stakes on the Prairie State card (the six statebred stakes that always produce huge prices....)?

If so, I can't wait.

Yes we are. That is one of the best days in all of Chicago-area racing. We will be playing all six races that day, so it will be the biggest day of the entire contest.

Nice Job BWS
