my only goal is to last longer than my miss storm cat

I'm signed up, but may have trouble keeping up; the hubby and I are headed for another of his meetings-near-telescopes next week. At least, this one is someplace nice - the Canary Islands. Sun and whale-watching and a volcano to climb. Hotel has 'free wi-fi', but I have found that some such places (like Panera Bread) block some horse-related sites because the are somehow linked to 'online gambling', even if they aren't betting sites.

mclem0822 10-29-2008 04:32 PM

I'm in.....
 
Just got signed up for Sunday, hope I can last a bit longer than last time I attempted this type of contest. Which was like 2 days!:rolleyes:
Good Luck to everyone playing!

Thanks mclem! Was thinking of playing a heavy exacta in the race as well, but didn't want to play it blindly. I will shoot for a pricey horse one of these days, I just feel like a chalk eating weasel when I go with the faves.

Hey we all eat chalk from time to time, it's part of the game right?:p

Put me in the chalk eater catergory too. I took Squeeze Me Tight too, but it didn't seem like an easy choice. The top 3 seemed inseparable and that's the way they came in. Next race should be a little harder with a bigger field. That is, if you play the 5th.

declansharbor 11-06-2008 05:58 AM

Went with the Sadler/GoGo charge in the first!

MISTERGEE 11-06-2008 12:30 PM

1227 left in contest

cal828 11-06-2008 02:49 PM

No chalk for me today. Picked Mobilize in R5. I'll probably be out.

MISTERGEE 11-06-2008 03:03 PM

never raced on grass before, hope he comes in for you though

mclem0822 11-06-2008 03:12 PM

Damn!

And that and that and that and that's all folks!!!!

jwkniska 11-07-2008 10:57 PM

my sister's still in amazingly (she's new and learning, so helping her pick out the top 3-4 of the day, then she decides from there).... had Ginobili, after switched due to scratch.

probably will have you is what you is tomorrow.

Pedigree Ann 11-08-2008 09:09 PM

Well, what with 3 different flights, changing 6 times zones, and the adventure of finding a hotel on the far side of the island after dark, I didn't get my pick in the first day. But amazingly enough, I am still alive at Meadowlands (no racing on Sunday so I could get somewhat adjusted in time to figure out when I needed to get my picks in).

swedejxn 11-16-2008 06:57 AM

still hanging in.... tough card today.... uncle jeep in the 9th....
