Nice win JolyB...good job!!! Thanks for scoring Digger!!!

[Real Quiet]

Congrats on the win JB. What a strange day. You and Ruff and then a big gap. Nicely played to both of you. (But I'm glad you won. I hate those 17 race cards when Ruff comes out on top)

That 3-point Loss
Was A Bitter Pill To Swallow 😿

But Happy To Spare Rq Angst If I Won

As RQ pointed out, a very strange and puzzling scoring distribution. I'm equally puzzled over which track to choose for this coming Saturday. Both Gulfstream and Oaklawn have strong cards and both have races that will earn Derby qualifying points (the Holy Bull and the Southwest). I may end up flipping a coin to decide, although I'm looking forward to Fierceness beginning his 3 year old campaign in the Holy Bull.

This might help you decide. Forecast calling for "light rain showers" in Hot Springs. Not seen the forecast for Florida, but guessing it might be dryer there. It was very wet at Oaklawn last weekend. My granddaughter called me for some picks, but of course I was focused on races at Gulfstream. She and her companions said it was very tough playing at Oaklawn so they gave up and went home early. Imagine it might be the same this coming weekend. Rain or not, I may try to play the Southwest. My best play ever was at Oaklawn last year in the rain, but I think that was in the Rebel.

Thank you for the info Cal. It seems to have been a rough January in Hot Springs with several racing days lost. Hope that you have been getting through this winter all right.

I survived the big freeze ok. Temps down to single digits caused Oaklawn's track to freeze therefore they shut down a few days. I think they are racing more days than in the past so a couple days missed like that doesn't hurt all that much. Plus racing is not their only game anymore now that they are a racino and they have a sizable hotel.
