I basically gave away TWO picks for tomorrow---to get Lia's Luck, who was eased in a five horse field...and earned me zero points. If not for that dazzling stroke of stupidity....I'd be the clear-cut favorite to win it tomorrow.

As it stands now, I'm probably about a 12/1-to-20/1 shot.







Well if you don't make I will still be your friend.







Not everyone here is like that you know.

In order for me to win.....

* Stormello and Dream Rush both must win.


* And each of the following four horses must not run 1st or 2nd:

Valbenny, Tiago, Cp West, and Slew's Tizzy


Sniper's two key horses are Tiago and Valbenny...from the looks of it, If Tiago runs 1st or 2nd...he can win it all.

Big Congrats guys!! To be that high in both contest says alot. I thought that both contest were great and I hope they do them agian. Umm this time I will read the rules about transactions and add/drop times. I think I added and dropped the same horse about 5 times,,,,without realizing I was screwing my self out of transactions. And I was gonna be slick and load up for a Saturday, then after I got the points, load up the stable for the Sunday card. Well obviously I cant tell time because I didnt realize I was central time. I am an idiot, what can I say.

Got an e-mail from the TVG Fantasy commissioner today. The next TVG fantasy game will begin scoring on June 30th and go through the Breeders' Cup.

Congrats to Sniper for his come-from-behind victory in the 3yo contest!

We almost had a board exacta (which looked like about a 150/1 shot of happening coming into today) ....I finished up in 3rd place.

I couldn't quite pull off the sweep, but it was nice to see someone else from here win.
