Going with cal chrome as well, sometimes you just have to take what they give you.

Race 7

#2 Ain't Misbehavin

Good luck!

Up to 3 in a row for me, hardly a major accomplishment but you have to start somewhere.

Default Thu. 1-14

After viewing the scratches, it's pretty hard not to use a horse in the three-horse opener, so I'm going with

#2 Valentine Boy

Good luck!

Showvivor website still showing it as a six-horse field so perhaps even though anybody who uses race 1 just needs their horse to complete the course, other races/horses will be used and we can still make up a little ground.

I agree. And some may have picked early, before the scratches were announced.

I went with #5, El Nino Terrible.

LOL, even in a 3-horse race, neither of us picked the winner!

There were only 574 players that used the 1st race. More than that picked either Carlot Cowboy in the 2nd or Eddie Haskel in the 6th.
