Thanks, IK, mmsc & Arletta. Much appreciated!

Today I'm on Talkstoomuch in the 1st, but could easily take a horse in the 4th if there's a scratch that I have time to notice!

(Talkstoomuch is an 8 yr old, which, I hope, is the reason they are offering her up at slightly less the claiming price than she last won at.)

Magical Eclipse in the 2nd is tempting, without even considering the fact that I'm a total solar eclipse nut.

Yes, and dodged a bullet by not switching to that horse in the 2nd.

PLAYERS STILL IN: 35
PLAYERS OUT: 6536
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571

Low stress day today: Eden's Moon in the 4th.

Was surprised to see she was 3rd, but felt better when I saw she cleared 4th by over 7 lengths!

Everyone was on either Eden's Moon or Reneesgotzip yesterday, so no one was knocked out. Still 35 players. I think today's card will spread out the picks.

My early pick is Brown Is Beige in the 2nd. I'll post again if I change it.

PLAYERS STILL IN: 32
PLAYERS OUT: 6539
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571

We've picked 19 days, but 3 of the 32 remaining players show only 18 total win/place/show finishes. I wonder what's up with that? Probably got byes because of some technical issues.

Day 20... I'll probably go with Shrug in the 5-horse 1st race. Multiple defections from the 2nd, 6th or 7th races could change that.
