*#2 in race 10 has scratched, maybe more than once, recently. If he scratches again in this race, substitute #8 in his place. In fact, if any horse scratches from race 10, 8 is my alternate so each horse would move up a spot and 8 comes in, I think I have this right?

ALSO, #8 is my alternate for race #3.

Additionally, want to add my personal notes about loving Fair Grounds and Nawlins. As could be guessed from my current location, I very much dislike cities, can only think of 3 I find tolerable, in order, Lexington, New Orleans, Louisville. Visited Nawlins only once, in January 2005 and that was enough to make me forever love it. Everyone is so incredibly relaxed there, and it seemed crime wasn't an issue though I'm sure it is in some places/times. But like every gas station/convenience store has guys hanging around drinking liquor out of brown paper bags, but they're laughing, playing music, being friendly to all passersby, not hostile/scary like in other cities, bought one guy a pint of bourbon since he gave me good directions and he didn't even try to rob me or anything, no one did, despite being a single young female in a vehicle with out of state tags just driving/roaming around looking at stuff and people. Just a total chill, party atmosphere constantly it seems there where bums are friendly and helpful like no other place on earth. If I ever become homeless and need a city New Orleans is it, as long as no hurricanes approaching.

Then Fair Grounds. Made friends with suspected degenerate gambler there, like immediately, we'd save each other's spot at the rail when one went to restroom or to get drinks or place bets. Nothing like this has ever happened to me at any other track and I've visited lots. It seemed like New Orleans was just packed full of people who just wanted to have a good time and help others do the same. Also impossible to tell "good" areas from bad there. Everywhere has the same type of people and rich or poor or anywhere in between they're all overly friendly without the least bit of nosiness. Was never asked my last name despite talking to a lot of locals.

Good luck to all at the Fairest Grounds and thanks to the scorekeepers!
