So everyone moves on essentially. Both were winners.

Idiot Proof sounded like it was about right for me today....on to the weekend...:D

jman5581 03-17-2007 09:18 AM

Well, we've certainly got choices today...

Dinner Magic in 1st

La Tormenta and River's Prayer in 4th

Air Commander and Level Red in San Felipe

think I'm going to take that River's Prayer, for a little luck in the Irish Obrien. His style has been going good on the hill.

Scratch that, I'm going to get this over with in the first with Dinner Magic.

Just my two cents;
I don't think the fourth is very clear to me, its looks competetive and I can see it going different ways.

I think Air Commander would be a great choice.

Dinner Magic also looks real strong. The class drop just gives me a little pause, 50K down to 16K

Yeah, I've decided to stay away from the 4th.

Air Commander is a great pick, but I think this might be a day to stay off the feature race...we know how fast 3 yr olds progress...especially THIS time of the year.

Dinner Magic, I think 16k keeps him from getting claimed....the ol' psyche out. And, you get more for winning a 16 claimer than you do for 3rd in a 50k. ;)

I've been getting away with picking the big chalk for too long now...gotta get out of the crowd's way this weekend. That said, now probably half the players remaining will pick Dinner Magic in the 1st! :D

I think you've got the right idea. At some point you have to start stepping aside from the crowd once in awhile and hope that a sizable chunk of them crash and burn on some big favorite.

I agree on you idea about the feature, I am putting AC on top but there is some risk with lightly raced horses.

Dinner Magic has the look of a lock. solid form and Jockey/trainer stats. With his speed he should get an easy trip without much pace pressure and have a lot for the finish.

Good luck today guys.

Looked at tomorrow's card...should be able to get through using either Seven Nation Army in the 2nd or Tap it Light in the 3rd.

jman5581 03-18-2007 08:54 AM

I'm more confident in SNA, so that's who I'm going with in a 5 horse field. 128 showvivors remaining.

rontheman1964 03-18-2007 03:36 PM

What are the rules in this contest?? How do we score a 3 horse race? Of course I didn't play that race....I gotta earn my way today....:cool:

jman5581 03-18-2007 06:52 PM

I was given the favorite, since SNA scratched...in what became the 3 horse field. :p

jman5581 03-19-2007 05:39 PM

I like 1 and 6 in the 2nd on Wednesday at the Great Race Place.

PPerfectfan 03-20-2007 12:21 AM

Good going guys. Keep up the good work.

rontheman1964 03-20-2007 10:42 PM

The Wednesday card looks tough. Could see some casualties...:D

Glad to make it through Wednesday. Posted my 3rd winner in a row and poised to make it into the top 10 (sitting at #14 after today.) :D
