Another rough day for the pickers, 36% go down. At this rate only one will be standing. Viscount and Bigsmc still on the leaderboard, wtg! 495 left after day 5. In contrast, Meadowlands has 854 left after day 37

Make Music For Me seems to be the logical choice today, but something screams out to me to stay away.

I have chosen 8 - Haka from Race 7, for now.....

Wow, that was rough. I should have went with my first instinct, which was crisis of spirit. Hope nobody on here picked that horse, because I'm putting a hex on it now.

I hope you changed your mind and listen to those screams, I didn't and I'm toast! I thought that was a piss poor ride from Smith, that horse never got a chance to run he was bottled up the entire way! I wish Tyler Baze would have taken a break from his break to ride this one back!

Were there really only 8 horses in that race? Because it looked like there was 100.

I did not go with my first instinct and am out. I know better, but I still do it. Always go with the first instinct on these things.

Good luck to all DTers left.
