Going with Storm Brave in the 6th. I'd much prefer a race with fewer horses, but those races look more evenly matched.

This guy is SO consistent. Note the last race was off the turf.

I've been out on Day 1... it sucks!

Thanks for the well-wishes but to show my solidarity I'm quite sure I'll be out tomorrow.

Glad you're still in, Mark2061mn... who else lasted today?

Went out on day one last time. Looks like I'm gonna be here for at least two days this time around.

I think I'm going the same route with Music Magic.
No time to look at PPs, so I'll roll the dice with what appears to be a safe bet to finish ITM.

You know what I should have done? I should have registered one of my non-horse racing friends..or family member...and just play as them....

And that way I'd have 2 chances.....and if my friend asks why I registered them in a contest they don't care about, I'll just explain that if I win, I'll split the winnings with him/her.
