Nice work on the exacta!

My pick finished 5th of 7. If I'd checked for late scratches, I'd have bet the 1st race with just 4 of them running. Oh well. I'm switching gears now and will try for the highest win payout going forward.

Good luck to everyone on the show (and win) streaks.

That's crazy! I wonder what the reasons are for the scratches. I mean it's warm, sunny and dry there.

If you picked that race and you finish 3rd do you get zero payoff in the contest

Race 1- #4 Brown Boss- Make that #2 Afflication. I would be winning if the contest was pick horse most likely to scratch.
