[Real Quiet]

When you're in an 0-60 slump you really need some premium grade extra strength catnip.

True NJS. I now have a $3 profit on the year and can finally see Cal in the yonder distance loose on the lead.

Not all that "yonder." I think I had more money after the first contest of the year than I have now. A couple of good plays will likely leave me in the dust. My strategy has been the horseracing equivalent of Muhammad Ali's "rope a dope." Play the small fields and take the low hanging fruit and let everyone else make the braver plays that often end up with no return. Hasn't really worked all that well and the only dope I've roped is myself much of the time.

Cal, I love your "rope a dope" analogy. As one of those ROI players who make the braver plays with my picks and often end up with nothing to show for it, I can certainly identify. Needless to say, my normal real dollar wagering is very different - otherwise would have had to file Chapter 13 long ago. Even that apparent low hanging fruit seems capable of squirting lemon juice in your eye. When the winning solution is too obvious, lots of other horseplayers (or the robot driven syndicates) will have driven the price down to such a low point as to be barely worthwhile.
