I think playing every week definately helps the total... but I've also stopped stressing over the PP's - I've been trying to go with class, trainer and jock and not worrying about who the "it" horse is

No way I'll pass Miraja2 or Paisjpq... I'll be happy in the top 10

Woohoo! That's what I get for actually handicapping this week. Okay, not the third race, because the print was too small for me to read. So I'm sure that will be an embarrassment.

Yay for Cowtown Cat! Moo meow!

(Of course, after many a weekend of fruitless wagering, I am known to say, "That's what I get for handicapping; I shoulda just picked by name." )

Still too far behind to catch up, but I'm having a lot of fun. Thanks again, DerbyCat, for running this!

[GenuineRisk]

Hmm... after the El Camino now I'm back to thinking, what's the point in handicapping....

True anecdote- I dreamt Circular Quay would win this race, but since I also dreamed Lawyer Ron would win the Triple Crown I'm not in the habit of trusting my subconscious for wagering tips. Though in my dream, it was Liquidity who made a run at CQ as he took over in the stretch.

And I did still think CQ'd win when I woke up, but I thought Ketchikan would go off at longer odds than he did and I'd make more money by choosing him when he paid off for second (which is where I thought he'd finish)... stupid local people betting on their local horse... spoiling my grand plans of him coming in 2nd at 8-1... how dare they!
