Yeah it almost always has the major pay out!

Good luck to you too. Will post picks (and I hope you do as well) as it draws closer.

Sad to see that Fenomeno is out.

I'm thinking I will take a chance with the very quirky Fame Game to beat the big boys (and girls).

This could change but the more I look at him, the more I like him here. (Very stressful to go against Gold Ship, Kinuza, Sounds of Earth, Demin and Ruby, Hokko Brave et al! )

Happy to see that both Beauty Flame and Luger are in the mix to represent HK the Yasuda Kinen. (Shifting Power, Toormore and Night of Thunder are also in the early noms for invitees).

nice pick with Fame Game.

what a bizarre race for Gold Ship. i thought for a moment he might be scratched when he wouldn't load in the gate and he kept kicking. then after the slow start the jock rushes him up in the middle of the race... i was thinking you dumb jock, what are you doing...he won't have anything left for the finish. but he went on to win anyway.

Thanks and yeah, it was... different!

Fingers crossed that Rewarding Hero gets an invite for the Yasuda Kinen. He might after that nice 2nd to Able Friend!
