Me too. I think I was down around number 2500. Still way down, but went up 1700 with wins in the last two races and back to positive territory.

On another subject, are you playing in the BeatByk contest?

[JolyB]

Yes. I got a late start but finally made the playoffs by joining Byk on Got Stormy yesterday. I'm going to keep trying for additional entries and the bargain priced NHC membership if I can actually beat his pick. Trying today with Rockemperor.

I can't tell exactly when in September the finals will be. Clearly, there will be many players.

Hope I don’t jinx you. I went with Rock Emperor too. Furious rally from him in last race and gets a better post, but don’t know whether that matters because with his style, may be last anyway. Also considered the Aidan O’Brien runner. First lasix, big weight break, etc. May change later. Hard to go against Chad though.
