Anyone have a guess of how long winvivor will last? 10 days would be my guess.

I think that's a pretty good guess. I'll be surprised if it goes past 12 days.

Looks like the rankings are in continuous flux. mymisstormcat is no longer in the top 100, much less the top 10. Dang it!

A lot of people are signing up today. Right now there are 2356 in Winvivor and 2776 in Showvivor.

Of course I'm gonna root for you!

I was thinking it was probably a good idea to use different horses for these two contests so I used BIg Bad Leroybrown in the Sensational Star cause i figured he'd be behind the winner. Stupidly changed it so I'm out of Showvivor already!

I always remind myself not to change any picks and yet I always do. Doh!

Anyway I shall root for you AND for Leroy, even though...

Yes, I did. And she took so long to get rolling that I thought I'd be out of both contests on Day 1.

Good luck tomorrow, mmsc.

I like her a lot. I remember her win last year at Saint-Cloud (can't think of the name of the race... no pp's but she beat Dar Re Mi. This was months before the race with Zarkava). Anyway good luck. She's a nice horse. No idea if she can do it tomorrow but i sure as hell hope she does well.

I'll figure out who I'm using tomorrow!
