Big points numbers and great win Cal. Should bump me down a rung on the ladder. I'm as cold as ice but will get back to my basic approach since what I've been trying just isn't working at all. Goog luck on the Repeat. We haven't had many this year so far.

Thanks for the kind words, but my play has been all over the place. I am as capable of being last as of being first so I don't expect I'll repeat. I'm sure you'll get back in the groove before long as you are one of the better players.

I consider it a small miracle that they were able to assemble a field of 6. There may have been some twisting of arms by the Racing Secretary to persuade that many.

Of course that's true. But many trainers and owners, especially with stakes horses, tend to play the percentages and may be more interested in not getting beaten rather than pulling off upsets. They are looking at future breeding value where such things seem to matter. This trend seems to be increasing. I miss the attitude of a Wayne Lukas who was never afraid to take a shot no matter how unrealistic his chances might have been. And he pulled off some memorable upsets in the process.
