Thanks, Arletta. I actually switched my selection to Lady of Shamrock when two scratches turned the 8th into a 5-horse race, but the outcome would have been the same.

8 different horses were used by the 27 players today, and 7 of those horses finished top 3. One person got knocked out, leaving 26 players for tomorrow's card.

Just got home. I've got Starry Skies in the 7th. Going off in a few minutes. Picked it last night, liked it even more after the scratch.

I and the 10 others on Starry Skies survived. (finished 1st). 2 people got knocked out today, leaving 24.

If we could just split up the prize money, we each have over $200.

PLAYERS STILL IN: 25
PLAYERS OUT: 6546
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571

I guess only one player was eliminated. That player picked the fav in the 11-horse 8th race. Probably looking for a big show payoff in case the tiebreaker kicks in, which is looking more and more likely.

Early pick for tomorrow is Royal Meridian in the 1st. A scratch in the 2nd or 7th could change things.

Whew, came in 3rd. Don't know yet if it was close.

10 of us move on--I was surprised more people didn't choose the even money fav in the 5-horse 2nd or the fav in the 5-horse 7th:


10 people selected #02 Royal Meridian in race 1
5 people selected #02 Achilles in race 7
5 people selected #04 Valkyrie Missile in race 2
3 people selected #05 Position A in race 2
2 people selected #06 Big Tsimmis in race 6
