I and the 10 others on Starry Skies survived. (finished 1st). 2 people got knocked out today, leaving 24.

If we could just split up the prize money, we each have over $200.

PLAYERS STILL IN: 25
PLAYERS OUT: 6546
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571

I guess only one player was eliminated. That player picked the fav in the 11-horse 8th race. Probably looking for a big show payoff in case the tiebreaker kicks in, which is looking more and more likely.

Early pick for tomorrow is Royal Meridian in the 1st. A scratch in the 2nd or 7th could change things.

Whew, came in 3rd. Don't know yet if it was close.

10 of us move on--I was surprised more people didn't choose the even money fav in the 5-horse 2nd or the fav in the 5-horse 7th:


10 people selected #02 Royal Meridian in race 1
5 people selected #02 Achilles in race 7
5 people selected #04 Valkyrie Missile in race 2
3 people selected #05 Position A in race 2
2 people selected #06 Big Tsimmis in race 6

Thanks, bigrun. I'm glad you started this thread, which reminded me to enter!

5 people were knocked out today leaving:

PLAYERS STILL IN: 20
PLAYERS OUT: 6551
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571

For tomorrow, Friday the 13th, I'm leaning toward the geezer in the 5-horse 2nd race, "R Vicarious Girl" . But also considering Ke Kekui in the 5-horse 1st and Tribal Dreams in the 5-horse 4th.
