The Sweep Is Lining Up

[XIIPointStables]

Good luck this weekend Drugs...any update? Still a lock?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Thank You.

I won't need it in the main contest....I'm going to win by triple digit points unless the highly unlikely event of a Slews Tizzy-Imawildandcrazyguy exacta occurs in the Belmont Stakes.

Even if that happens, everyone else is mathematically eliminated...though the winning margin wouldn't be quite as big.

As far as the 3yo contest....my postion has weakened a little since than, I still have three moves left (and Dream Rush already in)....but, I'm probably somewhere between a 15/1-to-25/1 shot of winning it all. I'll need to get hot Saturday, and need a little luck.

SnipersB is also in with a winning shot in the 3yo contest as well...he's got as good a shot as I do...

Hopefully someone from the board wins it.

Great Job!

I'm in 49th as of today. I forgot to activate On The Acorn in his last race

My chart for the main fantasy would read: broke slowly, made strong move midrace, finished evenly

3year old contest chart: dumped jockey at start but had fun doing it.

Good luck in the main contest. Sure looks like that $7,500 is yours. I've got a lead on you in the 3yo with the same amount of moves left but will have to use one of my three on Dream Rush (who was actually in my initial stable but I dropped her before she ever raced). My only advantage over you is Cotton Blossom who is hardly confidence inspiring. Unfortunately there are two people tied with or in front of both us that have 4 moves left. We really need them to waste a move or two. I still can't believe I wasted a move on Cowtown Cat. I don't like that horse at all but thought that field was so horrific that he would likely be some easy points to pick up on the field. Just a few minutes before I had the dagger partially stabbed into my heart when Lady Joanne ran down High Again and cost me 15 crucial points. I hope they do these contests again. They are fun although I would certainly not make the same mistake in the main one of joining two leagues in addition to the public league and having to make all my changes three times.

Good luck to you and DrugS.

I really think it would be wrong if TVG allows their hosts to take the money prize. I don't recall this being a beat the host contest and whenever Churchill (entirely different company I know, but same concept) has their fantasy contest for KY Derby or Arlington Million day they don't even allow employees to enter.

I think it is pretty funny that Gary Stevens would be ahead of me if he hadn't done such a horrific job of picking jockeys.

Terrific performance, DrugS! Congrats.

That race hurt me as well. I was thinking of using either Lady Joanne or Rutharianne last week---but got so caught up in the other contest---that I didn't make a single move and was just going to hope they wouldn't win.

You really can't fault yourself too much for taking Cowtown Cat---as horrible a favorite as I thought he was---he still was a 3/5 shot in a Grade 2 race---and I even entertained the idea of using him for a second or two, knowing I wouldn't get that short of a price for that many points the rest of the way. But, I really just despised him....he won with a monster bias aided trip two back, and than the 33 Beyer in the Derby..and he was giving 7lbs-to-9lbs all around.

Thanks. Hopefully I have one more good weekend left in me. I'll have to need it.

Dont get drunk friday night, Good luck

[lemoncrush]

Good luck to both of you guys.
I'm arond 54th in the main contest, and that's pretty good considering I didn't understand the rules for the first month.
The 3-yo contest kind of came up quick and baffled me and I lost interest quickly.
I guess I need a longer attention span and read the rules before playing.

Is there a chance of a "Indomitable/Sniper" exacta (box) in the three-year-old contest?

Going to be very tough to knock Gary Seibel out of there. There are also two people with four moves left. The one person is out of moves but well ahead in first so would benefit from a bunch of upsets. Winning would be very tough for either of us but at least the top six pay out (although 90% of the money goes to the top two). I doubt Drugs is going to be too excited about winning $100 though after winning $7,500 in the other one.

What about gas money to drive the $7500 to the bank?

Best of luck guys!

[GPK]

well done boys...continued sucess.

[SuffolkGirl]

Congratulations to you both. I figured that some folks from this board had to be in the top 10 on the tvg fantasy league. I am somewhere in the middle of the pack which sounds impressive until you realize just how big the pack is!!! Well done

[TheSpyder]

Props to our DT brothers...very nice work.
