I am kicking myself for not picking him. I have been "anti War Pass" from day 1 of the contest, and when the draft came up, I had my finger on the button to submit Big Brown and not War Pass....it was a choice between those 2. I chickened out at the last second, thinking that if (when) War Pass wins the TB Derby, I'll be left in the dust by all other players. Oh, the agony when WP ran last! So now, no BB for me, which could now be DrugS "ace in the hole". GL, DrugS...I think its looking good for you there, but the draw on the outside could be a bit of saving grace for me!

And seriously, what the heck is going on with Anak Nakal and his dismal performances!?!? Major points lost because of having him in there from the beginning. Oh well....

I love that RTTR game, and it is an honor to play with all of you fine people
(and to be in 2nd place to Steve)!

Cheers!

Yeah Rhonda, I was very shocked almost everyone doing well at the time passed on Big Brown.

But as for me winning it, even though I'll have the 3 favorites in the SA Derby, I'm still an underdog because of Pletcher.

Cowboy Cal appearently missed his workout yesterday...and isn't going to make the Blue Grass where I liked him a lot.

The two Pletcher horses I took (Cowboy Cal and Check It Twice) both haven't shown up in a race that counts for points yet - and Pletcher and JRV are both rolling a goose egg still.

With two wasted Pletcher horses, a wasted jock, and a wasted trainer ... the odds are against me for sure I'd think.

My horse selections suck AND Bill f*%&ing Mott with the goose egg is killing me.

F@@@@@@ing Mott is also killing me. Throwing away 11 pts. in the Sham by not hitting the activation button didn't help either.

But this where it gets interesting. I think I have 6 or 7 running this week as most people do. You have to pick the right horses from here on.

Byk is kicking all of our asses.

Do you have Bridgmohan as one of your jocks Kasept?

[Hickory Hill Hoff]

Just noticed that I'm currently 45th overall just behind DrugS.....best I've ever done with the contest. One BIG race to go!

I dropped from 26th to 57th after Harlem Rocker won. I needed J Be K for Assmussen/Gomez. And slipped to 3rd in the league....argh
