Barely saved my shoe yesterday....Whew! Down to 1010 players now. Tonight should eliminate quite a few... Challenging card tonight :wf

Race 3) Gold Fountain
Race 5) Joe Lemon
Race 8) Our Jane (Longshot pick)

MISTERGEE 11-13-2009 08:53 AM

that usually happens because the horse who mainly come in second sometimes pay more across the board than the winner. By the way they took and gave back my shoe yesterday also?

gorvy 11-14-2009 06:43 AM

Guys and gals, their system can't handle scratches immediately. So if you are checking the night of the races, and you picked a horse that scratched, the system will at first make it seem like you lost and take away your shoes and whatnot. Then, before the next day's races, it is magically fixed. Now here's the disturbing part. In a few recent days, they actually had the wrong horses posted at first. I compared the results to equibase and they were different. Ex yesterday they had NJ Esq in second in the 8th, when Our eponene actually finished second. Then the next day those were fixed too.

Arletta 11-14-2009 08:23 AM

It is messed up! I ran 2nd in yesterdays 5th race and now it says I lost my shoe :(

the stats are incorrect Arletta...

Once they sort out the scratches from yesterday and give people back the horseshoe they took away there will be more people alive than the 777 listed

Well Fancy just got beat last time out, and this time should go wire to wire.

Soda Pop is the favorite and should at least finish in the $$ to cover my a$$ in case my other two bomb out :D

Best of luck!

Your not kidding! A $72.00 winner in the second tonight. Wish I had it! :D

MISTERGEE 11-20-2009 07:10 PM

about 27 people picked that horse but not me, wonder how bad he looked

Arletta 11-20-2009 07:26 PM

Just watched the 4th.. Miss Ten Oaks ran a hell of a race.. Won't see 12-1 on her again..

I know, Hate it when I have the winner and the second place finisher gets more $. I was one day off going for long shots. After today I might just go for bombs one more time even though I have no shoes. Probably about 500 people will finish the game, so if I run out, I run out.

The 6th is off the turf and the MTO drew in, none the less Trippin' Away is still the best, even on dirt.

Yes, the 6th is down to an off the turf 5 horse field, and the 8th is a field of bottom of the barrel, state-bred, maiden claimers.

Good luck, you have the same 3 horses that I have!
