Hangin around in this one, also. Had the winner in the first today. Six hundred left, this is about when I run fourth. Maybe I'll get over that hump this time.

I made it past today, too, Pete.

I'll be choosing from these 3 tomorrow:

1. Indian Firewater
4. Magical Fantasy
8. Zenyatta

I went with Indian Firewater in the 1st. Otherwise I couldn't stand the suspense. ;>)

Took Zenyatta. Would have felt foolish had I not chose her and missed the board.

Despite the fact that all 3 of those horses finished 2nd or better, 73 people were eliminated yesterday leaving just 477 of the original 3713. Here are the leading picks from yesterday, according to the website:

266 people selected #05 Zenyatta in race 8

83 people selected #02 Indian Firewater in race 1

43 people selected #01 Magical Fantasy in race 4

21 people selected #06 New Bay in race 3

18 people selected #10 Excellent News in race 5

15 people selected #01 Noblety in race 3

11 people selected #03 Privilaged in race 1

6 people selected #09 Cowboy Cal in race 6

5 people selected #04 Black Mamba in race 4

3 people selected #10 Whatsthescript in race 6

2 people selected #07 Get My Fix in race 10

I'm leaning toward Differentkindagreat in the 2nd today.

Differentkindagreat won, but so did pretty much every fav yesterday. Yet amazingly enough, another 53 people dropped by the wayside leaving 424 players.

Lots of short fields today. I'm probably going with Talktoomuch in the first.

178 of us chose Talktoomuch. I watched the race and thought my contest was finished. Talktoomuch fell back into 4th place with the wire maybe 25 yards away--then the unbelievable happened. The horse running 2nd took a couple of awkward steps and lost the rider, allowing Talktoomuch to finish 3rd.

56 more people dropped out today. Now just 368 of the original 3713 are left. My tournament equity hits double figures: 3713/368 = $10.
