I guess I was wrong! :D

We all were.

Last week I had a bunch of 2nd place finishers... maybe this week they'll all come in 4th. :D

I got some longshots last week....this week I won't be that lucky again!:)

I told that I don't trust L'Amico Steve....until now...i was wrong everytime...:D ...let's see today....the brazilian seabiscuit....lol

Oh dear... just back on and saw results.....

Hmmmm, I have been dreaful again. I guess I should just give up, huh?

Surprised with L'amico Steve, did anyone catch the race? Was he unlucky at all or just not good enough?

It's been all downhill since the first Thursday two weeks ago....................

I didn't put them on my selections....but I expect a good race from 2 brazilian longshots: Select Reason (Race 3 - Despite horrible post position) and Classy-Lady (Race 5).

I will also love a victory of Eu Também!! I didn't put him on my selections due to the long layoff.

I too passed on Eu Tambem due to the lengthy layoff, but liked him besides that. Watch him win and pay $50.00 :p

Good Lord, I suck!
