Good work so far, though, Cajun. Leading the local pack!

Hey, I moved up to the 9800s. YIPEE! (Sarcasm is a wonderful thing)

How did everyone do this weekend?

[IrishofNDMan]

I'm 2,951. Cobalt Blue helped me.

It's just to bad I got lazy doing my first picks and took UD Ghetto, Hurry Up Austin, and Horse Greeley. I don't know why I did this, I just saw these names and picked them. If I would have took the other big names instead of taking these not soo good horses, I would be doing a lot better.

O, and I fooled around picking jockeys and tried to get cute and picked Bejarano (don't ask me why) over John Velasquez. And I picked Nakatani over Gomez. I could easily have a ton and I mean a ton more points.

I'm WAY ahead of you, Buffy. All the way to the 9600's. I'd feel worse if I weren't tied with kasept!

Zero points so far from Zito and Gomez.

Who is the new DT League leader, "CSDunn Stable"?

I am down below 12,000, but strangely optimistic. Sort of like when they give you your last cigarette before the firing squad. Not really. Actually I think that I am better off than I was last year at this time when I had already lost 2 or 3 of my runners to injury. I had Yourtentormine, but I don't think he ever made a race after the start of the contest. Not sure what happened to him, but I imagine he was another casualty of the Derby trail. Haven't lost any to injury so far so I guess potentially could still make a few points with the ones I have.

Im at 1091 but I think I am pretty much out of the running for a jacket. It appears that I probably cannot make up any ground because it is likely the people ahead of me have the same combos of jocks and trainers and many of the same horses.

And traditionally April is where my horses drop off the face of the earth. I tried to go with some trainer, jock combos that might be a little diff., but in the end I had to do Pletcher/JV (everyone and his mother) and ONeill/Nakatani. So I separate myself from no one here. Maybe my new additions will be fruitful.

IMUSTHAVEAJACKETWITHOUTBUYINGONE. And that requires top 25... rats.

Spoke too soon. Ravel out, but hopefully will recover and that means more than how myself or anyone else does in a contest. Wonder if this might change the plans for Stormello?

I moved up a few hundred too with Hard Spun's win, but you and everyone else still kicking my boody. Should do better in the Florida Derby since I have half the field. One I am a little worried about is Notional. Don't have him. Which ones do you have for that race?

I only have Stormello. Going to have a slow weekend if he doesn't come in for me. I believe he is my only runner this coming weekend so next week I will be back in the 10,000s somewhere.

Sorry, Cajun, it looks like that was the kiss of death!
