Thanks.. Goal was to get back over the cut line, winning an automatic was gravy.

one of these days....:wf

[quote=casp0555;1096940]one of these days....:wf

Ditto. Seemed likea premature move from Kent, but must admit I am not the best of observers. Just seemed strange that he would feel the need to challenge the leaders while they were still in the backstretch.?:zz: I guess this is what you were referring to?

[quote=cal828;1096943]Cal...it looked like Desormo was going to sit right off of Sharp Samari's right hip and go with him in the stretch, why he moved early, who knows, didnt seem to have the horse in the stretch to even contend anyways. My frustration is picking two winners in a row and getting nothing, poor wagering on my part, even if it is monopoly $$

[quote=casp0555;1096961]Even if you had the whole $100 on the winner you wouldn't have won but $220 and when you subtract out the $100, all you would have won was $120. A $20 exacta would have paid more, but I grant you, they have been pretty damn hard to hit. Still think they are the way to go.

[quote=cal828;1096969]I understand...exactas are the only way for me to play and expect to gain any ground...still saying, I picked winners and cant connect with them. That's frustrating.

[quote=casp0555;1096997]I hear ya. We both probably should have gained some ground on that one no matter whether you played it as an exacta or just a straight win bet. I'm going to scale back the exactas somewhat. If I don't, pretty soon I'll be so far in the hole, it won't matter, if I hit a big one.:zz:

Very good!!:tro: Those two above you haven't done anything since the first day of the contest. I imagine you can knock them off with another good play.

I think I met that clown before....he was drinking a bourbon at the fish and chips in TI....I guess he's a decent guy :p

Proves he is a clown. Who drinks Bourbon with Fish and Chips ;)

I assume you hit a decent one? What day and for how much, or have you been grinding it out?

$100 EX 4/1

I think they scratched the 5. You might still have time to change your pick.

I said I'd eventually hit one and it would pay about $6. I missed it by 60 cents. :rolleyes:

Changed my mind, so lock in the 8/7

$20 ex 2/7
$10 key box 2/1,7

Did you only bet $80?

Maybe, but I don't think so. Let's see, I think I bet a $20 box on the 1/2 which would be $40. Then $20 exacta on 2/7 and a $10 key box on 2/1,7 which would be another $40 for $100 total. Whatever, I am becoming the king of the chalky exactas.:D

I think I'm going to get smoked in this one. I think about 6 of the 10 going could contend. My picks:

$50 exacta 10/3
$10 exacta 9/3
$10 key box 10/3,8

Yep, no doubt about it, I am an f'ing dunce for not having that one.:zz::wf That was about a 3k miss by a nostril hair. Not really, the 3 was one of the favorites.

I'm in 97th

Good play in a difficult contest. Hang in there, you may overtake the leaders yet. Not sure where all the players went. Yesterday was a big day of racing. They probably were playing in tournaments at other venues. Imagine they will be back today. You are welcome to put your picks here and take your lumps like all the rest of us.:zz::D

Today looks like a potential big payout day. Very competitive race!!!
