We have a new addition to the Top Three - Heels1989 jumps into the show position with Gaines2b holding onto the lead and Hickory Hill Hoff stays in second.

The biggest jump up in the standings for the week was a 19 point rise by herkhorse after picking the straight exacta in the Fountain of Youth (no, he doesn't get credit for the $, just impressive cappin' ) AngelSita also picked the exacta - I'll bet they both liked Court Vision, too!

We have two new players this week, skyfire (who picked the winner and passed 15 previous players in one week - nice play!) and Avery Smartman - Welcome to the Contest!

59 picks were made, so that's $354 in bets. We collected $280.80, for a net loss of -20.7% for the week.

Through the first 20 races of the contest:
# of picks: 1072
Amount bet: $6786
Amount collected: $5568.20
Overall % return: -17.9%

The top 10 contest leaders are showing a profit on their picks, as well as #18, Bigmsc, who didn't pick 4 of the races. Honorable mention goes to cboh11, who at $119.50 is just 50 cents short of breaking even. Overall, we're losing at a rate very close to the track take (with breakage).
