Yeah, but he disappointed after that win. The main reason I picked him today is because he has dirt form.

Now looking at the dirt, it doesn't look sloppy at all.


On another point, in the contest I have selected to seconds so far

Well some people managed to show profits here and financially and so well done to them.

1= Hickory Hill Hoff +1.63
1= CowgirlinTexas +1.63 (both managed to pick the 2 Godolphin winners!)

3 Merasmag -3 (just picked the dirt races!)

4=Fmc123412 -6
4=My Miss Storm Cat -6
4=NoChanceToDance -6
4=BrockGuy -6

If there are any queries with the scores let me know. Many Colours' price was 9/4 (quite generous in the end!) and Fiesta Lady was 11/8

STANDINGS AFTER DAY 2:

It was a difficult day for us bar fmc as a lot of managed to find good priced placed horses rather than the winners. Some of us were particularly affected by the (albeit, just) DQ of Mariol in the 2nd race. Hopefully we'll do better next week.

Not making excuses, I've sucked, but I like to look for a few with decent odds to hit the board.

Of course now that i realize this contest is win only, I'll still suck.

Percentage we have to play, Brock?
