moved into 68th place after picking a winner, a 2nd, and scratching into another winner. Tonight's races SUCK, so this could be the end, I hate 5K claimers.

I predicted my own demise. You don't want to know my picks. It's not even like I used 3 ridiculous long shots. I had a 9-2 in the 1st race, 5-2 in the 2nd, and 2-1 in the last, and NONE of them EVEN SNIFFED hitting the board.

Oh well, on to the Breeders Cup

I've enjoyed this thread, just got my login. I thought about fiftyfive grand in the 1st, but chickened and went with the favorite. Don't remember my other two picks.

Actually I did select 55 grand, but it scratched and ran out that race The winner had 2.4 odds, the favorite that lost was 2.2, ugh. Folks who can change their picks after seeing scratches have a distinct advantage. I did have the favorite in the second race and it won though. The third race I had a bomb in, and it well.... bombed. 150th with shoe.

barely hung on today w/El Eshellita 3rd. Bottom of the barrel but alive and no shoe. More amazing is how I haven't missed a day putting in entries 'cept one (shoe day) in 3 weeks.
