I'm sure a lot of us are going to have an extra horse or two. I'm tossing Free Country and hoping none of the others get scratched late.

You guys doing any good in this thing?

I tossed Choc Candy from my six... so that's probably the best bet of the weekend.

Not doing anywhere near as good this year (about 1900th overall).

As predicted, throw one out and a different one scratches. The Pamplemousse is out. Too late to change.

That does blow! I did the opposite and left PON to run instead of Pamplemousse, they should let you make changes until like noon or something on race day, that rule could be changed in my opinion.

This points out on a weakness in the rules. I see no reason in this modern age that we can't at least see the scratches, which have all come out well before any of the Contest races

I was able to pick up 2 horses, and I ignored the Bluegrass(despite its' G I status as opposed to Ark.'s GII and I already have JoJo), who I think will win), so I picked up Papa Clem(established on synth-why isn't he in the Bluegrass?) and Win Willy for the Arkansas Derby with and eye on their chances in the Big One also

I have Old Fashioned, but I have no confidence in him, and I think Win Willy might be a live long shot in the KD.
