Well just one more..for the bettah sweatah:


Laura,

here's your tip for tomorrow, since it's the last day. take a horse that NOBODY else in the contest would consider. You do NOT want to take one someone else may end up on. That way, you can hope theirs misses and you make it thru. Also, later in the card is better than earlier (they can get ko'd first and finish behind you).





In other words----try to drop out of this thing on the very last day.


And so....

I have to ask.


























is it me?????

No argument from me... it's not easy to make it until the end of these contests.

!!

Wow!!


ummm.. Thanks everyone for the good wishes for today.. really.. your all very kind. I appreciate all the cheering for me to win this, but I am afraid I did not. Only one person is knocked out and even though I my pick has yet to run, I am not going to win because I needed all 8 in front of me to bomb out.


anyhow.. Thanks again everyone, it was fun and I look forward to the new one beginning next week.
