Thanks Knicks I really appreciate it.

Another big favorite fell by the wayside today as Appealing tale was off the board and had as many picks for him as the next 9 horses combined. So we're up to being 15 ahead of the next active streak at 34/34, pretty amazing and totally unexpected. I didn't give my pick for day 2 of the contest because I didn't really expect to last beyond day 2, yet here we are.

So anyway, the pick for Saturday is...

Race 9

Now up to a 20-day (or five race week) lead over the next active streak, seems too good to be true. Thought about taking Daddy D T tomorrow as a show of support to Steve and the site tomorrow, but being a turf race and having Talamo on board I had to look in another direction, so I settled on....

Up to 37-for-37, trying to keep it going by trying to beat another favorite as I just don't see anything special about Cyrus Alexander other than his purchase price, so I went in another direction and went with...

The seven of us who picked Coded Message (vs 554 for Cyrus Alexander) rode her to a third place finish today, good enough to keep the streak going at 38-for-38. Tomorrow's pick figures to be a little more popular, it's the big favorite of the day, as long as they don't stiff him again to boost his price in the Churchill Downs Handicap, it's...

Well, made it through 40 days, and still going strong! A mythical $2 show parlay on my first 40 picks, allowing for full re-investment of all partial dollars, would have been worth $1,110. No, I didn't do it...

So anyway, on we go for the next 40 (and beyond,) starting with...

Race 6

#6 Grazen Sky

Good luck!

Also, thanks to all who have been following along, I appreciate your interest and support as we continue toward our goal of keeping that streak alive.
