Congrats!! I noticed one other familiar name...nwaryas....he's been quietly perched away during the contest but he's still alive along with us...3 DT'ers hopefully alive in the top 100!! 101 players remaining in the contest after today...


When should we stop posting picks?? If anyone is feeling slighted, I'd be fine not posting my picks for the remainder of the contest (well, at least the remainder that i'm alive of course).

I'm still interested. I'm 'capping SA until Kee opens, got closer to the Place-All today with 6 of 8 on a $1 ticket. Liked Kelly Carson, Bandera Negra, and Ginny Winner over the favorites in their races, and Luis Especial nearly lasted for me. Got silly with the 5th (MC32) and blew the 6th. I think the weekday races are generally easier than weekend races.

I have stopped posting my picks until the contest is closed for the day. Just a personal thing....I'd hate to lead someone into taking a horse because of a comment I make and then get them eliminated because of it. Oh, had Sunshine Ridge today.

I'll continue to post mine...at least until we're guaranteed $!!! Then it's each man for his own!!! hahaha

Ron, pay attention to the PP's and not me, I haven't picked a winner in a couple days....hey, that means I'm DUE!!


I'm focusing on the 3rd today... Kailee Rush

King Palm finally wins! After - what? - 12 times running second? Should have been a slam dunk for the contest, since he nearly always hits the board. And the favorite Kailee RUsh last! Another 55 bite the dust.

Including me

good luck to anyone still in! I guess that last race wasn't the "wet fast" surface after all. I wanted to take KP, but I thought KR would get it done.

Me too...Kailee Rush didn't break like we'd hoped.....looking back King Palm shoulda been the pick. Good luck to all who are left. Oh....and I bet next time Kailee's Rush runs; Gomez isn't riding her.

One other guy, nwaryas, is still alive... c'mon nwaryas, take down the 5 G's. And then send us a little for the weekend's races. It's the least you could do!!!
