Sticking with Blingo in the 7th, though not thrilled with her single dirt race to draw on, either. Gave a lot of thought to Antidote in the 7-horse 5th race.
Dodged a bullet...Antidote didn't finish in the top 3.

Here's what people had/have today:

5 people selected #02 Blingo in race 7
4 people selected #05 Blu Jon in race 1
2 people selected #01 World Renowned in race 1
1 person selected #05 Love My Way in race 2



2 were knocked out in the 4-horse 1st race. There are 5 of us waiting to see if Blingo comes through. So tomorrow there will either be 5 players left or 10 players left.

Thanks, mmsc & A!

My penultimate (I hope) Showvivor decision is Ultimate Decision, the heavy fav in the 2nd race. The horse seems way too good to be offered in a $20K claimer, and that makes me nervous. Why is O'Neill offering him up so cheaply? But 5 horses and Eswan Flores aboard are very big pluses.

Only 3 of us on Ultimate Decision. I'm surprised how spread out the picks are:

3 people selected #05 Ultimate Decision in race 2
2 people selected #07 Designer in race 6
2 people selected #07 Irish Art in race 5
2 people selected #05 Compari in race 5
1 person selected #01 Special Kid in race 2
