Selections are up for tomorrow. Lots of big fields. Smallest looks to be an 8 horse field in the 7th.

For sure, I love what I see tomorrow quite honestly. The first days had some 4-5-6 horse fields. People actually will have to look at it or go on a whim....

Tomorrow should be wide open. No 6/5 morning line favorites to play. Could see alot of people eliminated. I like 2 different races. I hope I pick the right one to play.

I have cracked the top 100. I am 86th!!!!

But man tomorrow's card...I haven't looked at PPs but one of only a handful of horses I recognize is Intangaroo...and that's because she knocked me out of the Hollywood show contest lol.

I'm nervous. Hopefully I won't have to use her. If I get through tomorrow...The weekend cards look easy...especially with Turn Away...and on Monday there's Wait a While...

I've decided. I'm using Sir Lowry in the 7th. He has never been off the board. Frankel's horses have worked for me. I don't like the size of the field, but all the races look pretty full.

Good luck. We need a few to stay in the contest to keep this thread fresh. I'm still in -- ranked #131. If we can get through Friday, the weekend should be easier. After Monday, who knows what Santa Anita will decide to do with their racing schedule.

im still hanging in there as well as my significant other.... she usually does better than me at those things... I handicap the heck out of a race... give her the top 2,3, or 4 she asks who the jockeys and trainers are.... and I am ALWAYS out before she is.... go figure????? at least she doesn't go by color... She won a big college bowl pool a few years back... $20 entry and 1200 pay out.... by going with the college nick-names... almost caused me to give up gambling...
