We got another scratch in that race, leaving just 4 horses. There was no show betting, but our picks still counted.

We would have been okay with Cardiff Giant in the 8th, too--finished 1st.

39 people dropped out yesterday, leaving 289 of the original 3713. Equity per player has climbed to $17.

Today I'm leaning toward Raiding Party in the 3rd. But I have to leave for another road trip before I'll get to see the scratches.
