Good luck!

Already down to 40 7/7 streaks out of 3546 players who have at least one show horse correct during the meeting, so it's still too early to give up, even though personally my start has been as bad this year as it was good last year, as I only have one correct selection, and that was a race where my pick scratched and I wound up on the favorite. Still lots of time to turn it around though.

You meant Race 4.

I'm not as optimistic as you. Have you figured out how many racing days are left? This one doesn't run til June. There are 34 with 8/8, but I'm guessing there are another 50 with at least 5/5.

When my current streak (2-in-a-row!) ends, I'll be done with going for show streak. I may switch to win streak, though, becoming much more choosy on the picks.

Today: Race 3, Midnight Hawk

Sorry, my bad on the race number yesterday.

I counted 165 players with an active streak of at least 5 in a row. More than I thought, but still less than 4.5% of all players who have at least one correct selection. Including today, there are still 55 racing dates left in the meeting, and last year only two players were able to get a streak of higher than 32. Perhaps that was an aberration, but I have to believe that a streak of 40 would give someone a reasonable chance of winning.

Anyway, my pick for today is...

Race 4

#2 Tryst

Good analysis, you convinced me. (I count 58 days left, btw). If my pick yesterday had not lost, I was going to skip today. (large fields, no heavy favs except for CC, who hasn't raced in so long.) Now I'll just go with CC in the feature and hope he's ready enough for 3rd.

Going with cal chrome as well, sometimes you just have to take what they give you.

Good luck!

Up to 3 in a row for me, hardly a major accomplishment but you have to start somewhere.
