Good luck everyone!

Thanks, Buffy for the info on DRF PP's!!!

FYI-I think these two races are the drf's races of the week so we should be able to get free PPs. Maybe I can actually handicap the races this week. :)

Thanks Buff... I'll keep checking DRF and as soon as they're posted I'll get them up on the first thread.

I am sorry but 8/1 ML on Ketchikan is absurd. I think his last race was the best of ANY colt in this race, with the possible exception of CQ in the Hopeful last year. 8/1 is a gift, but I seriously doubt he'll go off at that.

Wow, DerbyCat, I think you're making your move to win this thing!! You used to be a cellardweller like me, but you are definitely breaking out!!

I think playing every week definately helps the total... but I've also stopped stressing over the PP's - I've been trying to go with class, trainer and jock and not worrying about who the "it" horse is :o

No way I'll pass Miraja2 or Paisjpq... I'll be happy in the top 10 ;)

you might because I'm pretty stubborn about not betting pletcher...and it seems he never loses:(

You must have been a big winner on BC day :p

I would have been if I had bet straight instead of exotics...:o live and learn

I am probably going to regret this later but I would like to change my selection to #5 Candy's Bro...

After The LA Derby...

I have to go to a fundraiser tonight so I won't post the final standings for today's races until late tonight or Sunday morning... GL everone.

Are you sure? there's time to reconsider...

yup...gotta live a little:p

Woohoo! That's what I get for actually handicapping this week. Okay, not the third race, because the print was too small for me to read. So I'm sure that will be an embarrassment.

Yay for Cowtown Cat! Moo meow!

(Of course, after many a weekend of fruitless wagering, I am known to say, "That's what I get for handicapping; I shoulda just picked by name." :) )

Still too far behind to catch up, but I'm having a lot of fun. Thanks again, DerbyCat, for running this!

Hmm... after the El Camino now I'm back to thinking, what's the point in handicapping....

True anecdote- I dreamt Circular Quay would win this race, but since I also dreamed Lawyer Ron would win the Triple Crown I'm not in the habit of trusting my subconscious for wagering tips. Though in my dream, it was Liquidity who made a run at CQ as he took over in the stretch.

And I did still think CQ'd win when I woke up, but I thought Ketchikan would go off at longer odds than he did and I'd make more money by choosing him when he paid off for second (which is where I thought he'd finish)... stupid local people betting on their local horse... spoiling my grand plans of him coming in 2nd at 8-1... how dare they! ;)
