What the h*ll was going on with the El Camino Real Derby? The winner, Autism Awareness paid $190 for your $2 across the board bet but not one of us had the horse. In hindsight (and I’ve been looking at it this way since I saw the race), I guess you could have picked the horse knowing that it was fit (just ran 4 F in .46 in his last work), it had run on dirt (too many of these California horses are running exclusively on synthetics), and that God smiles upon idiots and the autistic Unfortunately, God does not smile upon the idiot handicapper, at least not frequently enough

Two of us picked 2 out of 3 winners – congrats to pgiaco and Scav. The Top Three has a couple new faces, Gaines2b stays on top but AngelSita moves into 2nd and megahertz jumps into the 3rd place position. The biggest rise in the standings goes to pgiaco who moved up 11 places – Nice!

16 Bigsmc $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 = $128.50
...
This week 159 picks were made, so that's $954 in bets. We collected $643.20, for a net loss of -32.6% for the week. Looking at the bright side, that's an improvement from the -34% of the previous week.

Through the first 25 races of the contest:
# of picks: 1394
Amount bet: $8364
Amount collected: $6623.40
Overall % return: -20.8%

The top 10 contest leaders are showing a profit on their picks. #11, Scav, is just 60 cents short. And #16, Bigsmc, is also showing a profit when you figure he didn't pick 4 races.
