Cool. I’ll stick with it and see if I can rebound. How early do they normally announce the contest races? I thought we would have found out the Saturday races by now.

Thanks. Switching to the 7 then. Was thinking about giving the 5 a chance since he ran wide the entire time last time out but I like the workouts for the 7.

Good luck!

Default 6/10

Race 6: #4 C.D. Jammin
Race 8: #9 Spirit Mission
Race 10: #8 Monte Crista

I may switch my pick for Race 6 to the #7 trained by Jason Servis. He’s got a really great turf record this year and I can’t afford to miss the board today...but the 4 is very capable, even off the layoff, and the workout on May 1 makes me think he is ready to fire. It would be nice to get a longshot in there for my overall total.

Anyway, good luck all!
