Default Didn't get the pick in!

Why can't they make it so if you miss the start of the card, you just can't get a pick in for the races you've missed? But you can still get a contest pick in for a remaining race, am I crazy here there's got to be a way to do that? Guess I'm out!

Don't feel bad Michael... I bombed out too.. I thought I was playing it "safe" by picking Grazen in the 6th... He broke down

I'm still alive in the Meadowlands tho (barely)

I'm still in. Got knocked out earlier than this the only other time I entered.

Looking at the 1st and 3rd races today.

Went with Miss Heather Lee in the 3rd. Do I really want a 2-yr-old 3rd-time-starter that hasn't run in over 2 months?!

633 players left out of initial 3713. I already have $8 of tournament equity!

I have Raiding Party in the 5th today.

Hangin around in this one, also. Had the winner in the first today. Six hundred left, this is about when I run fourth. Maybe I'll get over that hump this time.

1. Indian Firewater
4. Magical Fantasy
8. Zenyatta

I went with Indian Firewater in the 1st. Otherwise I couldn't stand the suspense. ;>)
