After being completely out of synch with the races for most of the card (other than catching the tri in the opener, which wasn't part of our contest), I finally came a bit closer in the finale - except for one little thing. My notes listed 8,7 and 5 as my top three choices, and I managed to carelessly transcribe them as 8,7 and 2 on my points picks. #2 went of at about 90-1 and ran to his odds and #5 Epicenter ran to a Derby qualifying victory. Ever have one of those days?

My play was terrible. I would be surprised, if I got 50 points.

If anyone was astute enough to reel in one of the numerous longshots, the pay day will need a virtual Brinks truck for delivery. What a crazy day but those who go by the Quija board of Crystal Ball may see big payoffs.

Like I said, I was totally befuddled!!! And yes Call, the Pts scores will be low with the winner maybe breaking 70.
