Tempting, but I'm worried whether she'll get the loose lead she's enjoyed the last 3 outings. Besides, I can't stand the tension of waiting until the 8th race to see if I advance. ;>)

Going with Sidepocket Kid in the 2nd.

Awww you are so nice to have been worried because you were thinking he went with the horse named for Freddy.

(That was offensive and I know and sorry but I am horrible )

edit - Oh yeah I had Lady Ten so I'm still in.

I like Fordham Road tomorrow and want to go with a real chalky pick so looking at that one, at Cyclometer and Glorified.

Not sure but one thing I am sure of is the one I pick will be the wrong one.

Good luck guys. I really do hope one of us wins this thing!

I'm leaning toward Queenie Marini in the 1st. But if either Hiero or Consulado scratch from the 4th, I'll take the one that stays.

We've made it to the last 7% of contest players! Damn, we're good!
