Well, no one managed to pick the high priced winner of the Battaglia Stakes (Absolutely Cindy paid a total of $62 ) so our standings stayed very similar to last week. Our Top Three currently is Gaines2b, Hickory Hill Hoff and AngelSita (who moved up two places in the standings) - Congrats to each of you - keep it up!

This Saturday we'll be playing three races, The Gotham at Aqueduct, Louisiana Derby at the Fair Grounds and my personal favorite, the El Camino Real Derby (California's only dirt Derby prep race) at Bay Meadows! I don't know about you but I'm getting real excited about Saturday!!

What Scavs said.

I know the feeling DC. My work should ease up in the next week or two and allow me to get back to normal. I hope yours does too.

Many thanks for what you do DC.

DC, Scavs is right. There is absolutley no need for you to apoligize. Thank You for taking the time to run (which I am sure is not an easy) contest. You are doing a tremendous job. THANKS again.

DC, it looks like Heels1989 still has the 3rd spot, not AngelSita.

This week 104 picks were made, so that's $624 in bets. We collected $412.00, for a net loss of -34% for the week. Ouch!

Through the first 22 races of the contest:
# of picks: 1235
Amount bet: $7410
Amount collected: $5980.20
Overall % return: -19.3%

The top 11 contest leaders are showing a profit on their picks.
