Race 2

#4 Visibility

Good luck!

Even though my pick for yesterday didn't win, he did at least finish third to keep the show streak alive although I fell in the standings from 133 to 678. Despite yesterday being very formful, the number of show streaks went from 1,289 down to 920. I think that by the end that number will be far lower still, probably single digits.

We both advanced today, ranger. I inherited the fav, Toomanytomatoes, when my pick scratched and it finished 2nd, giving me my 2nd place. Maybe I'll start trying to pick horses that finish 2nd. ;<)

I know Vic would approve...

Race 1

#3 Straight N Strong

Yesterday saw the end of another 201 perfect show streaks, dropping the number to 719. With those who took the big favorite getting credit for a second place finish, the number of perfect win streaks dropped from 133 all the way down to 11. I'm actually in last place among all those with three wins, currently 210th. Good luck today!

Too bad those horses scratched, or I would have gone with one of the favs from the earlier races.

My chances are slim now. I should probably switch to a pic-the-longest-shot-of-the-day strategy. Other wise, I'd pretty much need to luck into a good win streak or luck into enough random place finishes to catch up there.
