It was a wild race, yes Bejarano came over trying to go through a hole he saw opening up, then I thought the 8 drifted in like you say, but I felt the winner didn't deserve to be taken down.

I'm not sure it was that, got a bit of a lead, then for some reason that is beyond me the jock took a strangle hold of him! Then he tried to come back at them, and was even if not a nose in front, then he got tired and faded. I thought it was a crummy ride, or poor instructions, or some combo of both!:rolleyes:

Wow! Let's start a win streak tomorrow. Although I haven't even looked at the race yet, I'll pick up the form after work tomorrow. Good Luck.

Del Mar Contest Pick 8/14.......
 
I may pay for it but I just can't pass up a dropper from $32,000 to $12,500, and that's the case with the #6 Forestry's Fire.
Good Luck!

Sweet hit there Michael!! That ought to boost you up a whole lot! I went and changed my wagers after reading your post and did put $20.00 to win on Forestry Fire, so I at least made $200..Thank you! :D

Thank you very much, and congrats on your hit as well! That did move me up from 1700+ to 400+ ranking, hope I can keep it going. That horse was running at the lowest level he's ever run at, the drop was just too big to pass up. I was a little suprised he didn't take a little more money, 9-1 was sweet!:)

this is the one contest for me this year in which whomever I pick, ends up tanking. I can hit winners, pick 3's, etc in other contests regularly this year, but stinking up the dmtc one.
