Had the winner of both the 8th & 9th races today (wished I played the late double for real) ranked 4 out of 26 ($28.80)
and places me - #316 with $128.80. Starting to come alive!

How funny.. I was 10th outta 26($22.00). We three we 8th, 9th & 10..Hard to believe only 26 people are playing on average daily. Course it double on the weekends..

My picks for tomorrow are:
Even Tempo
Preemptive Strike
Hyrule

No big payers, but they looked the best.

(Wonder how "rgusta" & "Pete" are faring in the contest.)

Cowgirl, I got blanked yesterday but still cling to a place on the leader board. With regards to your thought that only 26 people are playing, you are misstaken. Keeneland groups everyone that had the same score in one placing so you could have had fifty other people joining you in 10th place. Good luck today.

Glad to hear that your still on the board. Now that you mentioned the way they do the standing.. I clearly see it now at the bottom

Had one winner and a second today, but only moved me up to 542. Need to pick a juicy longshot, but seems like it's been pretty chaulky for the most part. wwith rain in the forcast this weekend, perhaps there will be a few decent payoffs here and there.

Looks like for tomorrow I am going to take a stab with the following:

Dominican (beat Street Sence last year)
Panty Raid (also liked Meribel)
Written in Stone (tough race!)

Good Luck with those picks Cowgirl, although mine are totally different. I'm going with these horses- 7th MissZoeyBelle (should be a number)
8th Self Made Man
9th Carriage Trail(though Panty Raid may not lose)
10th Giant Deputy
Best of Luck today!
