lol, 2 races with 3 horses yesterday. Even I could pick the show horse.

Beholder is probably my favorite horse of the last few years, and I hope she wins by 10 lengthss. But since I'm now 2 behind the show streak leaders, I'm taking the #1 in Race 3.

I luckily made it to 3 in a row as my original pick finished off the board, but I looked at the scratches and changed my pick to the runner-up in the three-starter/two finisher first race yesterday. Already only 451 players with a 3/3 streak, so let's keep it up! Taking the free square today with

Race 5

#6 Beholder

Good luck!

Beholder was the choice of 1011 players. The 2nd most picked horse was picked by 105 players. I don't remember 10 to 1 gap like that before.

I'm still 2 behind the leaders. Going with #4 in Race 1.

I think when Songbird ran a couple times this winter, she was pretty close, but I don't remember for sure. But even with the two gimmes this weekend (Beholder on Sunday and the two 3-horse fields on Saturday) about 250 people lost their perfect streaks, so we are down to 376. Out of 2432 people with at least one correct selection so far, only two have picked four horses to be exactly second, and only one has picked four horses that were exactly third, to go with 29 who already have four winners. Bigrun and I are tied with one win, one second and two thirds so far, so keep up the good work! Anyway, my pick for today is

Race 6

#10 Sugar Spice

Good luck!
