Wow, this is the toughest week of the contest so far for me. The Sham is a particularly hard race to figure out. There are probably some nice value horses out there today, but I sure as hell can't figure out who they are, so I am going chalky this week.
Holy Bull - Scat Daddy (alternate: Nobiz Like Showbiz) Sham - Time Squared (alternate: Liquidity) Swale - Adore the Gold (alternate: Gunfight)

Miraja2 was able to maintain his lead after a three contest race Saturday, with AngelSita and Paisjpq still holding steady in the place and show positions. A very strong showing by first-timer Robfla... and for all of those who had Buffymommy's 7 year old nephew pick better than you - just remember, we're getting him hooked on the horses early so all of you can take his money at the windows later when he's a bit older and addicted to this!
 (J/K Buffy!)Here are todays totals and the current standings: # DT Member Swale Holy Bull Sham TOTAL 1 Miraja2 $13.60 $2.10 $0.00 $161.40 2 AngelSita $13.60 $2.10 $14.60 $136.10 3 Paisjpq $7.00 $2.10 $14.60 $114.20 4 Hickory Hill Hoff $2.20 $2.10 $14.60 $97.80 5 Mclem10011 $2.20 $8.50 $0.00 $83.50 6 Swedejxn $7.00 $0.00 $0.00 $83.10 7 DaHoss9698 $7.00 $2.10 $14.60 $79.20 8 BT $13.60 $8.50 $0.00 $65.30 9 Buffymommy $7.00 $8.50 $0.00 $61.80 10 Alydar $13.60 $2.10 $14.60 $61.50 11 PeteMugg $0.00 $8.50 $0.00 $61.20 12 Merasmag NP $11.80 $5.60 $60.70 13 Sightseek $7.00 $0.00 $0.00 $57.80 14 2 Dollar Bill $7.00 $8.50 $0.00 $50.60 15 Cal828 $2.20 $2.10 $14.60 $48.50 16 GenuineRisk $0.00 $8.50 $14.60 $47.70 17 SniperSB23 $13.60 $0.00 $0.00 $39.50 18 Ninetoone NP NP NP $37.40 19 Derbycat $2.20 $8.50 $0.00 $37.30 20 nwaryas $2.20 $0.00 $5.60 $34.70 21 Ramone44 NP $8.50 $5.60 $34.30 22 Saucon17 $13.60 $0.00 $0.00 $31.20 23 TitanSooner NP NP NP $27.90 24 1 dollar pick 3 NP $8.50 $14.60 $23.10 25 Timmgirvan $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $19.20 26 Robfla $0.00 $8.50 $5.60 $14.10 27 PackerBacker7964 NP NP NP $12.80 28 CannonShell NP NP NP $12.30 29 Buffy's 7 y.o.

Note to self: Do not let husband pick my horses anymore. I went two for three this time, and my choice in the race I let him pick was the winner. Just because he can say "Eeenvasor... heeeee's da behhhhhst" should not count for anything...
Though, quite frankly, this was probably luck for me. Nobiz is my current fave for the Derby (subject to change, I'm sure) and I like Ravel for no reason I can explain. Either way, BuffyM is still kicking my ass.

Holy Bull: Nobiz Like Shobiz
Shame: Ravel Swale: Gunfight (also picked by husband, because "Prado's riding him." I guess he DOES listen to my horseracing chatter sometimes) I guess I should pick alternates, just in case: Sam P Liquidity Adore the Gold
