Default Pedigree Ann in final 14 (of 2396) at Hollywood Contest

They started with 2396 players in the "Show Me The Money" contest at Hollywood. After yesterday they are down to 14 survivors, one of whom is Pedigree Ann.

Thanks. Best I've done in one of these contests in a long time. Have gotten extraordinarily busy/distracted recently so have had only a little time to spend on 'capping. "Study long, study wrong" may have some truth to it.

Good luck, I hope you win the "Show Me The Money" contest (renamed from the original "ShowVivor" created in 2004; the first winner, Samuel T. Jones, of Los Feliz, CA, is buried somewhere on the Hollywood Park grounds...)

12 cappers left, and Pedigree Ann is still there. 7 horses were used yesterday, and all of them finished in the top 3.

For anyone who has tried this,they know how difficult it is. It is much easier to tell what horse is a good bet to win at 5-1 than it is to continue to pick horses to show on a daily basis. Usually takes me about a week to get eliminated from these contests. Good luck. Must help now that the field sizes are basically around 6 or less.
