Thanks! Wish you two were still in it with us.

I think only 2 players dropped out today. The picks will probably be spread out a little more tomorrow.

As of now I'm looking at Jack O Lyn in the 1st.

(I actually stayed with Sister Moon today because I didn't see the scratch in the 4th. Either it was a late scratch or I somehow misread it!)

PLAYERS STILL IN: 129
PLAYERS OUT: 6442
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571

I've already changed my pick twice for tomorrow. Surprisingly hard to find a solid choice considering there are 4 races with 6 entries.

Right now I'm on Tiz Liberty in the 3rd, but that could easily change if there's a scratch down to 5 anywhere.

Meanwhile, I haven't quite cracked the meaningless Top 100 list. Sitting at #102 now.

Good luck, IK.

He is out of town and asked that I put his pick in for him for tomorrow.

He is going with #2 Salty Sarah in the 1st race.


Best of luck you two!

There are scratches in the 1st, 4th and 5th that caused me to take another look at those races.

I switched to Halfapondarosa in the 1st. I can't ignore the "sign" that I was humming the theme to Bonanza yesterday! That, and the 7 lbs taken off by the switch to E. Flores.

By picking a different horse in the same race as IK, I make it slightly less likely that both of us will advance, and slightly more likely that at least one of us will.
