You guys doing any good in this thing?

As predicted, throw one out and a different one scratches. The Pamplemousse is out. Too late to change.

That does blow! I did the opposite and left PON to run instead of Pamplemousse, they should let you make changes until like noon or something on race day, that rule could be changed in my opinion.

This points out on a weakness in the rules. I see no reason in this modern age that we can't at least see the scratches, which have all come out well before any of the Contest races

I'll need them, I only have one running this weekend.

I was able to pick up 2 horses, and I ignored the Bluegrass(despite its' G I status as opposed to Ark.'s GII and I already have JoJo), who I think will win), so I picked up Papa Clem(established on synth-why isn't he in the Bluegrass?) and Win Willy for the Arkansas Derby with and eye on their chances in the Big One also

I have Old Fashioned, but I have no confidence in him, and I think Win Willy might be a live long shot in the KD.

Old Fashioned is the one I have, as well. If he can rate a bit I think he's the best of this bunch. Maybe that's what the jock change is all about. I've got nothing in the Bluegrass so I'm going to wait to see how it shapes up. It looks wide open to me.

Wonder if many will pick up Quality Road or Musket Man. Don't think I'll consider it, I need points now. I'll just hope they aren't up to it on derby day.
