Begins the 26th. :)

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm in.

Don't forget!

I took the Candy Ride second time starter in the 4th. 2 rules Ill try to follow....
Stay away from super obvious/popular horse. Tomorrow is clearly Evening Jewel. Stay away from claiming races. MSW, Stakes and Allowance races is where Ill choose from.

Belo Purse for me.

Sat 2-25
 

I too am going to try and not get suckered into the "obvious" or "popular" horses..Which most likely means I will be out by the weekend :D

R6) #5 Red Sharp Humor

This one is really risky IMO. Comes out of the worse race of anyone. The Runflatout race is likely OK and I like the Baffert and Steve A from that race a lot.

Taking Lord Avalon in the 2nd, looks like they've been pointing to this spot. Also, thanks for this thread, otherwise I would have never known there was a round 2.

It doesn't really matter because at some point I always forget to put my pick in. I will take #1 Wegner in the 8th.
Good luck everyone.

Mr. Commons for me, without even looking at the PP's. 8-5 in the 6-horse 8th race.

Arletta, I hope yours comes in. Sharp Humor was one of my favs.

Thanks Dunbar.. I might change my mind before post time.. I am liking the #11 in the 1st quite a bit. I think either horse will run in the $$, but I need to get a win and not just play it "safe" like I did last time.

Sat. 2/26 Contest Pick....
 

Race 3-#1 One Bad Romance

Good Luck All!

Will go with Evening Jewel in a 5-horse race off the turf. Would be extremely shocked if she cannot finish in the money versus those remaining in the race.

If she runs out of the $$, it will sure knock out a lot of people.

I would've switched to that one if I hadn't been on the road all day.

--Dunbar

I made it.

Now Evening Jewel is running in a 4 horse field. A lot of scratches today so almost all the chalk is coming in.

Amazombie is my pick for Sunday.
Good Luck

Another PP-less stab for me: Word Association in the 6th.

--Dunbar

You'd think that after having run a bunch of these Showvivors, Santa Anita would have the software down pat. But the "Top 100 Handipappers" shows 100 people who seem to have correctly picked the 2nd place horse in race 7 yesterday. It also says these "Top 100" were actually "eliminated" in that race.

Go figure.

--Dunbar

Scratched into a win yesterday, so continuing on and going with Forty Dates in the 2nd.

Sun. 2/27 Contest Pick......
 

Race 1-#2 Love You So

Good Luck All!

Also.... Right after the last race Saturday it said the contest was down to 1851. Then Sunday when I checked and made my pick it was over 2k.

they made, then fixed a mistake that originally ko'd 800+ people that shouldn't have been (my sister included).

Im using the #7 Jax El in Race #1. I had a hard time coming up with anything.

Going with #6 Gaelic Glory in the 2nd. He was good to me last out so hopefully he'll be good again.

Forgot to pick before hitting the road, so had to pick via a non-capping friend over the phone based solely on ML odds and # of horses in the race. Achak in the 3rd.

Now, looking at PP's, that race looks wide open. Might've gone with Ranchero, along with 1111 other players, if I'd looked more closely.

--Dunbar

West Ruler in the 1st keeps me in.

My remote attempt to stay alive didn't work. Carry on, all!


--Dunbar

I'll try Island Run.

Best of Luck to ya John :)

well, my horse is still trying to find the line... good luck to all left in it.
