Good luck!

As an aside, I'll set the over/under on the amount bet to show on Vale Dori at $450,000.

And congratulations Billy on qualifying for the WCH!

Race 3

#7 Stormy Rocit

Good luck!

Since I missed again yesterday, I am changing my strategy and going to the area where I have the best chance to win, which is most places. I am currently listed as 37th there and only nine players have more correct place selections than I do, so at least for now that is where I will focus my energy.

Race 3

#8 Cherokee Dynasty

Good luck!

I forgot to post on Sunday but I picked Skelton Pass, who ran 2nd to Billy's pick in the down the hill race. So Clem and I are basically tied with seven places each, which puts me in 30th and him 33rd. It's interesting that despite being so highly ranked, we have zero overlap in our horses that finished second. Hopefully we can finish 1-2 by the end of the meeting.

Great and I forget today! Tied up with Comcast after my MLB package wouldn't play last night or half of today!

Keep it up! One of you needs to win it. I'm going after most wins and am back in the top 25 there (I bounced in the prior contest they ran lolol).

Race 3

#7 A New Trend

Good luck!

Don't worry Clem, you didn't really lose any ground by not picking yesterday, none of the people who already have nine places managed to pick a runner-up yesterday, so we are still two back. My pick, who only had nine people choose her, won, but that does me very little good as I only have four winners so far, good enough for 1206th place. Would much rather she had been second.
