Corinthian and Hesanoldsalt got me off to a wonderful start. I still have a lot of moves to go so plenty of time to screw it up further or salvage it. I don't think the people that have no moves left on BC Day are going to have much of a chance. Interesting strategy that many employed to not use a move on a second jockey or trainer. I never thought of that. Will be interesting to see in the end if it was a smart move or not. I really wish they just allowed you to set your initial lineup for free and then you were limited to 28 moves from there. Would have rewarded the people that made good initial picks and put some thought into the racing calendar. I also wish they had added a moves remaining column to the standings. I suggested it to them but apparently they opted not to do it.

yeah, i agree. especially with the part about making it easier to see how many moves are left. it's way too much work to figure it out for the top 500.

I am in 25th place right now with 16 picks left. I will have to choose carefully!
