Thanks, br. The geezette came through for me today. (won by 5 lengths!)
4 players were knocked out today leaving 16: PLAYERS STILL IN: 16 PLAYERS OUT: 6555 TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571 For tomorrow, I'm leaning toward Wegner in the 4th, though taking one of the 2 favs in the 8th is tempting, too. And a scratch in the 1st or 3rd would make me look at those races again. --Dunbar

Thanks, br.
One player was eliminated yesterday (4th by a sure-to-be-aggravating head), leaving 15 of us. Today's Day 27! There are just 5 more days of the meet. My tiebreaker best-show-payoff isn't totally hopeless, but it's not all that huge either. Was going to pass on Baffert's 1-1 fav in the 8th because I hate taking a horse that hasn't run in 6 months. But a scratch reduced the race to 4 horses, and Baffert HAS won 40% of his last 50 entries with more than a 180 day layoff, AND the horse has been working like gangbusters. If Contested finishes last and I'm eliminated, I'm guessing that at least 10 of the other 14 players will go out with me. A smart play might be to pick another good horse today, like Palio Prince in the 3rd or Call Me Lucy in the 4th, hoping for Contested to lose and eliminate almost everyone. I've got 20 minutes to change my mind and do that! --Dunbar

I've wanted to start a DUNBAR! thread in the pad lock for the past week but am so afraid that if I do it will jinx you my friend.
SO happy for you... keep going! You're amazing!

Seriously, thanks a lot for the nice sentiments. (he dares to use a period...wonders whether a pair of exclamation points can make up for it!!) I ended up staying with Contested today. Only one brave soul ventured away: Top 15 ShowVivor Contest Favorites: Sunday April 15th 13 people selected #03 Contested in race 8 1 person selected #02 Dylan Donnelly in race 9 1 person selected #04 Tiz the Tide in race 8 (Tiz the Tide was scratched, so this pick will also be on Contested.) So, after today we'll either have a single survivor, or 14 or 15 of us will still be around next Thursday for the stretch run. --Dunbar
