The Sweep Is Lining Up

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.

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.
