I held on by the slimmest of margins last night. One third place finish.

1: Kafwain Wedgeheart
6: Lumpy proof
8: Cool Coal Man

moved into 68th place after picking a winner, a 2nd, and scratching into another winner. Tonight's races SUCK, so this could be the end, I hate 5K claimers.

What were your picks for today?

240ish

I predicted my own demise. You don't want to know my picks. It's not even like I used 3 ridiculous long shots. I had a 9-2 in the 1st race, 5-2 in the 2nd, and 2-1 in the last, and NONE of them EVEN SNIFFED hitting the board.

Oh well, on to the Breeders Cup

Damn, lost my choo yesterday :mad: all 3 picks came in 4th

sitting 302nd with my shoe

I've enjoyed this thread, just got my login. I thought about fiftyfive grand in the 1st, but chickened and went with the favorite. Don't remember my other two picks.

Actually I did select 55 grand, but it scratched and ran out that race The winner had 2.4 odds, the favorite that lost was 2.2, ugh. Folks who can change their picks after seeing scratches have a distinct advantage. I did have the favorite in the second race and it won though. The third race I had a bomb in, and it well.... bombed. 150th with shoe.

barely hung on today w/El Eshellita 3rd. Bottom of the barrel but alive and no shoe. More amazing is how I haven't missed a day putting in entries 'cept one (shoe day) in 3 weeks.

Monday 10-26
 

Race 1) Fuzzy's Story
Race 2) Babylonian
Race 5) Spiteful Gypsy

Totally agree. They picked 3 races with 6 or 7 competitors. If there are a few scratches in these races almost everybody who picks will advance, yet again. I think they want as many people to stay alive as long as possible, to increase the likelihood that they will still care about the meadlowands and bet real $. But I can't complain since it's a free game. :)
