Gets me through...thanks guys for testing my meddle. I needed it severly on that one. And don't ask me why I was fixated on the first race...I couldn't tell you.

Sometimes the short field thing is a little overrated.About a year an a half ago,I got knocked out in a 4 horse race.It was gunna be a 5 horse race (with 3 pace types.) So,Dutrow has 2 horses in there,and I used the rater of the 2(decent rater..atleast at one time..called Nebraska Moon.)At the last minute,the other Dutrow horse got scratched(I think at the gate,) and it was then a 4 horse race(2 speed horses,and 2 raters.)The 2 speed horses had a manlove agreement up front,and so it came down to which of the 2 raters was gunna get 3rd.Lost that little battle by about 3/4 of a length.You can get kicked out...any race...short field won't always save ya.

I agree with you, it depends on the field and some things out of your control. Well, today is shaping up to be pretty productive. I knew it was going to be a tougher day than yesterday.
|
desert code...41% of contestants have that one today, me included.
|
In the Woods......and onward we go.....
|
narrowing it down for today, either french souvenir, ymustichasedacat, or chocolate lava... I'm inclined to take FS even though I have YMICC selected at the moment.
|
nothing but the dog in me...but, I'm going with Chocolate. again, staying out of the way of the crowd in a relatively small field. Good luck to all.
|
Good luck to all the DT people still alive. How many of you are there anyway?
Is it just Jman and rontheman? |

Actually, based on last time, I figure if either of us are going to win it we're only about half way home...this is the proverbial "turn towards home." |
Jman, we need a heavy favorite to be off the board and pare down the remaining entrants. Of course, hopefully we aren't on that particular fav...hahaha (Maybe Rags to Riches today??) I like the small field theory. Especially if you can find a speed horse who can cut some easy fractions. Anyway, good luck to you also. This thing isn't close to being finished the way we are going right now.

Still so mad about the slipped saddle that knocked me out. It's not that I picked a bad runner - she nearly made third despite everything. Still contend it was sabotage.<grin>
|
Chocolate Lava closed out the week for me. Did anyone see Magnificience? WOW, what a race she ran after getting left at the gate.

At least we're making some progress today with all the people that picked John the Maitre D. Glad I stayed off of French Souvenir!
