Long day but JolyB takes the win! Real Quiet lands a solid second. Alli does well in third. DonGuido digs in to round out the super!

[JolyB]

Don't know how that happened - I thought that I'd done horribly. Could feel RQ breathing down my neck as the wire approached - another race and I'm sure he would have used his closing kick to move to the front.

Plen, thank you very much for scoring efforts way beyond the call of duty. I hope that the vodka lasted. I promise to have many fewer races this Saturday - suspect we could all use something a little less time consuming.

[Real Quiet]

Joly. You are like a bulldog on the lead. If we ran another 14 races I couldn't pass you. Nicely played.

[DonGuido]

I'm tired of finishing 2,3 and 4. Actually I'm just tired. Come on college football and mostly come on my Clemson Tigers to give me something to cheer for in sports and feel good about. Now that said, I may have just jinxed them this year.

[Alli]

After entering my picks here, I looked at each race as it happened and called a couple of longshots, but didn't really bet. Then the derby came up and I decided to place a bet on Mr Big News to show....not really a great bet usually, but he paid $16.80! So I had my little victory for the day. Hope everyone else had fun too!

Good to hear that someone did well. It was an entertaining and distracting day, even though I didn't win so I'll file it away in memory and try to learn from it, although that seldom seems to happen, but after all it is one of the hardest puzzles to solve from year to year so I guess all of us that lost will have to forgive ourselves and move on to the next challenge with hopefully, a better outcome. Breeder's Cup is looming in the distance and will be here before we know it and we will have another chance to redeem ourselves ....or not!

In between now and the Breeders' Cup, we also will be able to grapple with the Preakness, although I'm not sure how the quarantine restrictions in Maryland will affect trainer decisions and jockey assignments. It doesn't appear that we will see a rematch between Tiz and Authentic.
