Not to throw a little metrosexual purse clutching pissy fit ... but ... I tried to pick up This One's For Phil and couldn't because he wasn't nominated .. so I took another sprinter in Notonthesamepage instead .. there goes a Gr 2 win.

I tried to pick up Quality Road for the Floriday Derby ... but couldn't cause he wasn't nominated ... so I took Theregoesjojo instead .. so that's a Gr 1 win that slipped away.

Actually though - I made some horrendous early choices and am surprised I'm even in 4th. My most clever pick was Ventana - thinking Baffert would ship him East and he'd move way up on real dirt .. no dice. Still in So. Cal on a surface he stinks on.

I also took Atomic Rain thinking he might score some Tampa points - no dice.

I have Ventana, also. Never expected him to be a derby contender, but I thought he'd score a few points that first week. Free Country is my other star. He's race three times in the contest but could only manage a fourth, I believe.
