First, I wanted to say thanks for all the support, I really appreciate it.
So yesterday, one of the final 10 of us made a mis-step, so we are down to nine perfect streaks of 12/12 remaining. Of course even having the last perfect streak doesn't guarantee anything, unless it goes through the entire meet. 21 other players have active streaks of at least nine in a row, including eight who are at 11/11, so there is no chance to let up. Seven of the eight races qualify to be picked from today, so there should be more variety in picks. My pick for today is... Race 6 #7 Big Bad Jon, $31 to show Let's hope he is a big, big man and doesn't send me into a worthless pit. ![]() Good luck! |

And then there were 3!
1 melolengo 13 / 13 2 spam55 13 / 13 3 ranger5830 13 / 13 4 dusty68 12 / 0 The ranks chasing you were thinned, too. Just four 12/12's left. It's really impressive that your making a good run at it yet again, ranger.

Thanks Dunbar.
I did not think yesterday was as tough as it turned out to be, as three of the top five popular picks were successful, yet we lost 2/3 of the last perfect streaks. I have a feeling if War Factor had not barely won the photo for third in the first race, we might have lost another one. So on we go, also Clem's pick managed to run second, just like mine did, and we moved all the way up to 5th and 7th respectively in total places, so great job! You can have the total places win as long as I get the show streak. Not crazy about today's pick, as it is a down the hill race, but he is 9-for-9 in the money in down the hill races, and should get a good trip. It's... Race 4 #3 Boozer Good luck! Also, there is now a 55-way tie for highest win payout after Stylistic United's highly improbable ($180.80) win in the fifth yesterday. Good luck to anyone trying to beat that. |

Too bad, ranger. Very nice run, though.
Maybe you and mclem can stay in the hunt for most Places. If that $180 highest win payoff holds up, each winner will collect a whopping $9.09 in prize money.
