I forgot to pick yesterday! Actually, I tried to pick from my phone, didn't work, and then forgot to get back to it when I got to my laptop.

I'm 2/2, but shouldn't be. My 2nd pick, Prince Valiant, was scratched. I should have inherited the 1-1 post time fav, Inexcess Time, who finished 4th. Instead I got The Custodian, who finished 3rd. The Custodian went off at 1.7-1.

All I can figure is that they gave me the ML fav from the remaining horses instead of the post-time fav. But the rules clearly state it should have been the post time fav. I emailed them about it, but no answer yet. There are probably a lot of people who benefited from the error.

Anyway, today I'm going with The Bench Rules in Race 2.

Going to keep doing this until I get one, maybe I'll miss my first 43 picks this time, but hopefully not, it's still very early as I would be very surprised if the winning streak has been started yet. Anyway, pick for today is..

Race 3

#5 Comanche Ruler

Good luck!
