DT Contest - Week 14

[DerbyCat]

A GREAT weekend of racing is ahead of us and we’ve got quite a few races to play. I may still add a race, just need to see what the draws are later today. I’ll get PP’s up as soon as I can (or if I’m lucky, Saucon17 or Miraja2 may find them and post them before I do ). Good luck to all of you this weekend!

This is about 10 weeks in a row where you pick all of the horses that I do except one. What gives? Is this some sort of weird strategy on your part? If it is, I don't really mind, but I am a bit curious about the logic behind it.
Perhaps this is all just a coincidence, but it seems pretty odd.

I like a lot of the same horses this week too. But I do think some of your alts will be my picks and your picks will be my alts. I haven't finished looking at all the races yet though. But I do like your Wood picks.

When you and I pick the same horses, I just chalk it up to brilliant minds thinking alike!!
But this AngelSita person will continually do the same thing week after week. If there are four races they will pick 3 of my 4. If there are three they will pick 2 of 3. This week it was 4 out 5. Even when I make off-the-wall picks like Barkley Sound!!
Like I said, maybe it is just a coincidence, (I honestly can't think of any reason that somone would even care who I liked in a race) and I don't really mind either way, but it happens every week, so I am a bit curious.

Well, that bites. Here I was surprised and kind of happy that somebody else liked Barkley Sound. Off-the-wall pick? So you don't really the horse has a chance? Actually, I happen to like Barkley Sound. Well, and the fact that him and Izzie's Halo are the only two horses I know anything about in this race.

No, I don't have some off-the-wall strategy to pick the same horses as you. But I have noticed that and there have been a few times where I thought about not picking certain horses because of that. Of course, that doesn't happen because, well, darn it, I should be able to pick the horses that I like. And that is my strategy - pick horses I like even if it's not the smartest pick.

I did a quick analysis of picks since AngelSita started playing (Since last week - not counting this weeks picks - you both have played 31 of the same races) and here are the results:

You had the SAME picks in ten (10) races and you both were ITM
You both LOST $ ($0 balance) in eight (8) races (I don't know who you picked, just know you had a $0 return)
You had DIFFERENT top picks in thirteen (13) races, of those 13, AngelSita won more $ in eight (8) races and you won more $ in five (5) of the races.

Just an analysis... and don't get mad at me if I copy you, too... you're in the lead Man!!!

Some people want to "Be Like Mike"... I want to "Be Like Sean"!!!!
