It let my sister and me sign up for free. They called the pay one Showvivor Plus, this one's called Showvivor II... maybe they had some sense and made it a free game.

looking at races 1,2,4

1. ride me fast looks playable
2. gotta love uffizi
4. on the virg could be trouble... but big drop after first off.... was the speed in the race but faded badly... could face company on the point... but did rate well a year ago in two races.... scary....

Fado will be coming at the end... but will it be a good day or bad day for Rosario... gotta love him being outside post with a closer with a good bit of front end speed....

leaning toward races 1 and 2....

I've got your pick in the 1st. Know Uffizi's on my sister's short list.

Almost forgot again! :zz:

Best of luck to anyone playing... I got knocked out first day in the last one.

Dunbar 03-04-2009 11:16 AM

Going with Storm Brave in the 6th. I'd much prefer a race with fewer horses, but those races look more evenly matched.

This guy is SO consistent. Note the last race was off the turf.

my miss storm cat 03-04-2009 04:11 PM

I went with Unworldly Heat in the 7th...

Dunbar 03-04-2009 05:47 PM

That was quick! I'm out.

Good luck, mmsc!

--Dunbar

mark2061mn 03-04-2009 06:53 PM

I've been out on Day 1... it sucks!

Thanks for the well-wishes but to show my solidarity I'm quite sure I'll be out tomorrow. :D

Glad you're still in, Mark2061mn... who else lasted today?

PeteMugg 03-04-2009 07:22 PM

Went out on day one last time. Looks like I'm gonna be here for at least two days this time around.

cowgirlintexas 03-04-2009 07:25 PM

I barely made it past Day one myself..had Romp in the 2nd..Ran 3rd...whew.

Going to play it a bit safe tomorrow with Music Magic in the 6th.

Best of luck to all still standing. :)

I think I'm going the same route with Music Magic.
No time to look at PPs, so I'll roll the dice with what appears to be a safe bet to finish ITM.

letswastemoney 03-05-2009 06:39 PM

You know what I should have done? I should have registered one of my non-horse racing friends..or family member...and just play as them....

And that way I'd have 2 chances.....and if my friend asks why I registered them in a contest they don't care about, I'll just explain that if I win, I'll split the winnings with him/her.

Isn't that like CHEATING???????? I would need 500 entries to stay alive.

Not necessarily!!

Okay how about this....you tell your friend or mom or whoever...as long as they live in a different household...that there's this great contest where you can win $5,000 for picking horses...and it wouldn't cost them a thing. You ask them if they want to enter...and they say yes...and then you offer to make their choices for them, since they don't know anything about horses. And in return for doing all the handicapping, they give you a piece of the pie.

I mean, it's still their choice to enter the contest, you're just....uhmmm...helping them...... I think it's a good idea anyway :)

I wouldn't make 500 entries, but I'd make one for my mom or something and keep things going a little longer next time.
