Hey Spyder, thanks again for running such a fun and time consuming contest. Hope a little gratitude helps your headache go away...at least for a little while.

Thanks for the wishes from Ron & you. Truth is I've started a very demanding job that really squeezes the time I have. Last year I worked for a great guy that let me have every afternoon off during Saratoga......me. But I had to fire myself because I was not making any money.

Oh, well....back to scoring.

Default Update

Golfer swings to the lead!

Golfer hot at 50% wins has taken eight picks to nail down the lead at -0.18.

Pat Cummings moves back one spot to second 2/12 -0.25 with lava making a move to thirs 3/12 -.028

Of note, Ntamm1215 just getting out of the gate this week, hit a $370 winner to move from last to 6th.

Seven others popped their first win over the last couple days.

Hats off to fantini33 who has played both years and just missed in the nightcaop. Still fighting away, fantini33 is a combined 0/51 and like many of us, find this contest a real test of the mind and spirit.

Last, please do not edit your posts, even if you're trying to help. And PM me if you spot an error.

Good Luck...

One last thing....I'll be at Saratoga this Thursday and Friday so hope to see you if you're there. I'll be hanging at the Byksters place.

Spyder........out
