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.

The three main posters on international and we are joined by the hip in last position, it's not a good sign.

Just drink a can of Relentless...... that stuff is lethal

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?
