Another winner in the GP 7 mandatory. Hate taking a short price but in mandatory races, you sometimes have to take what is given to you.
I am now sitting at just over $50 with eight races to go. Lots of work to do. Paul

You're doing fine! Hang tough.. Lots of opportunity and progress being made against Troop's lead according to Tuley recent update... 2-3 cap-vicinity hits will propel you! Pursuers close gap on NHC leader By Dave Tuley http://www.drf.com/news/article/110478.html LAS VEGAS - The chase is on. Brian Troop, 61, of Barrie, Ontario, held a nearly $80 lead over the rest of the field in the 11th annual Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship after Friday's first day of the two-day compeititon that awards $500,000 to the winner. But the field of 300 started its pursuit in earnest on Saturday with everyone having the chance to make 15 more mythical $2 win-and-place bets. Troop entered the day at $232.60. After Saturday's second mandatory race, the fifth at Gulfstream, Troop was still in the lead after padding his total up to $248.80, but closing the gap were Russell Weber of Amityville, N.Y., with $216.20 and Robert Gregory of Durango, Colo., with $200.80.

Troop holding on to lead by $25
By Dave Tuley LAS VEGAS - Brian Troop is like the speed horse that opens up by daylight and then tries to hold on in deep stretch. Through seven of the eight mandatory races on the final day of the 11th annual Daily Racing Form/NTRA National Handicapping Championship, Troop of Barrie, Ontario, was holding on to a $25 lead with a score of $248.80, just $16.20 more than he started the day with after setting a record total on Day 1. Stalking in second is Russell Weber, of Amityville, N.Y., at $223.60, with Tim Simmons of Lexington, Ky., moving into third at $220.60 ahead of Robert Gregory of Durango, Colo., at $211.20. Elaine Kowaleski of Farmingdale, N.J., was the only other competitor over $200 at $202.60, but the top 13 on the leaderboard were within a "cap horse" - scores are capped at $42 to win and $22 to place - of catching Troop. Last year, John Conte of Oceanside, N.Y., jumped from 11th to first in the final race of the tournament to win the $500,000 first-place prize.
