Shrug was scratched. The #1 looks substantially the weakest of the remaining 4. The 2, 3, & 4 are all pretty close. I was tempted to let the bettors decide (get the fav), but I think I'll go with the #2, Scofield Barracks.

I think this was my 3rd straight 3rd place finish. But at least my horse was 6 lengths clear of 4th place. One player is eliminated after 4 races, with 5 more players still at risk.

On to tomorrow's card.

Thanks, mmsc!

I had some frantic last minute indecision today. Main contenders were Moonstruck Maya in 5-horse 1st Race, Lisa Lulu in 6-horse 2nd Race, After Later in 9-horse 6th Race, and Circle The Moon in 9-horse 7th Race.

Ended up on Lisa Lulu as time ran out.

Thanks, Arletta. That one was a relief. And it ended my 3rd-itis, too.

After 2 races, 2 people are out and 14 have survived. 15 players are still sweating.

Thanks, IK. It was a little unnerving when I saw I was the only person on Lucy Lulu, and that another horse in the race was the most popular choice today.
