Oaklawn Park R11

3 Violent Pass
1 Copper King
9 Ronamo

Scratched: 13 14

The top three bust the triple digit scores but JolyB makes it a repeat win! RUFFIAN-333 is close behind in second. DonGuido lands a nice third. cal828 and Plenilune share the super spot.

1 JolyB - DC XCX 2 126
2 RUFFIAN-333 XBX 2 123
3 DonGuido XBX 2 103
4 cal828 XXB 1 87

R11: Real Quiet XCX 2 57

Congrats on the win JB. You fended off a 14 race contest next week as an added bonus.

Thank you R.Q. To the surprise of no one, we'll be remaining at Oaklawn for Arkansas Derbies Day [that is if Cal doesn't mind the continued company].

The only question is how much of an extremely full card to play. Right now, I'm thinking of starting around Race 5 and having a contest with 10 very full fields. That will give us "only" 133 entrants to consider [actually 132 since the scratch of Fast Enough has already been announced].

JB you sure are warming up, as you always do in the Spring, accumulating those back-to-backs. I'm considering double points for the Ark Derby, since we always have this bonus starting with the real Derby. After all, it is the first Saturday in May!!!

Wooo, I might have to start handicapping again, if you did that. Problem is, I don't know whether I want to choose the venue in the following week considering the cornucopia of places to go!!

I was pretty much praying that he would win. We all dodged the bullet, I think.
