Default Thu. 12-31

Going to keep doing this until I get one, maybe I'll miss my first 43 picks this time, but hopefully not, it's still very early as I would be very surprised if the winning streak has been started yet. Anyway, pick for today is..

Race 3

#5 Comanche Ruler

Good luck!

#3 Anxious Times

Good luck!

Already down to 87 5/5 streaks as yesterday was exceptionally tough, the top 3 picks were all out of the top 3, taking 1099 players down to a streak of 0.

I considered taking a pass on yesterday. Should have!

Going to give it one more shot:

Race 5: I Will Score (hope it's true!)

That was my loser from Friday. I guess the irony of "Send Me A Sign" finishing out of the money was lost on me. Was there ever a clearer sign?

Going for 2-in-a-row with the obvious Sweet Invention in race #1.

Race 3

#1 Touched By Autism

Good luck!

Already down to 40 7/7 streaks out of 3546 players who have at least one show horse correct during the meeting, so it's still too early to give up, even though personally my start has been as bad this year as it was good last year, as I only have one correct selection, and that was a race where my pick scratched and I wound up on the favorite. Still lots of time to turn it around though.

You meant Race 4.

I'm not as optimistic as you. Have you figured out how many racing days are left? This one doesn't run til June. There are 34 with 8/8, but I'm guessing there are another 50 with at least 5/5.

When my current streak (2-in-a-row!) ends, I'll be done with going for show streak. I may switch to win streak, though, becoming much more choosy on the picks.

Today: Race 3, Midnight Hawk
