Back for another shot at it, my strategy this time is to mainly use well-bet horses with outside posts in dirt sprints, so in that vein I'm taking...

Race 7

#7 He Will

Good Luck!

Someone here needs to take this thing down!

Nice, I think we all made it through. The 2nd and 3rd most popular picks didn't hit the board, so we did well.

For 5/6 I'm taking

Race 5

#2 Fusaichi Samurai

Good luck!

Yesterday only 1,462 out of 2,714 picks were successful, or only just under 54%, so for everyone here to be correct was very good, let's keep it up!

Race 1

#1 Rosarita

Good luck!

Sorry Dunbar that your pick didn't make it, but I think there's a good chance that nobody runs the table for the whole 41 day meeting, so get back on that horse (so to speak) and try again! Already only 658 perfect streaks after just two days of racing.

lol, 2 races with 3 horses yesterday. Even I could pick the show horse.

Beholder is probably my favorite horse of the last few years, and I hope she wins by 10 lengthss. But since I'm now 2 behind the show streak leaders, I'm taking the #1 in Race 3.

I luckily made it to 3 in a row as my original pick finished off the board, but I looked at the scratches and changed my pick to the runner-up in the three-starter/two finisher first race yesterday. Already only 451 players with a 3/3 streak, so let's keep it up! Taking the free square today with

Race 5

#6 Beholder

Good luck!

Beholder was the choice of 1011 players. The 2nd most picked horse was picked by 105 players. I don't remember 10 to 1 gap like that before.

I'm still 2 behind the leaders. Going with #4 in Race 1.
