I will be too!

It would be great to have either of you win this contest.

Thanks, ladies.

mmsc, I'll probably need that wakeup call, too! I'd better put it in my phone alarm.

One of the tougher days for me, and I probably won't be around to take advantage of any scratches tomorrow morning. Came down to Race 1 or Race 6, and there were a couple of horses in each of those that were tempting.

Going with Memo To Kathy in Race 1. Nope, just talked myself out of it. Going with Sahara Sky in Race 6.

Going to bed.

54 players knocked out today:

PLAYERS STILL IN: 140
PLAYERS OUT: 6431
TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571


Our contest equity has risen to over $35 each. ($5000/140=$35.70)

IK and I have shown that we clearly belong in the top 2% of people able to find $2.10 winners. ;>)


I making up for the too-much-time I spent last night with a 30-sec pick for tomorrow. I suspect I'll have at least 75% of the players as company:

Race 2: Mamma Kimbo

Thanks for the heads up, mmsc. I'll most likely take IK's horse in the 4-horse 2nd, despite the long layoff. If there's a scratch in the 4th, I might switch to Holy Candy.

Thanks! Wish you two were still in it with us.

I think only 2 players dropped out today. The picks will probably be spread out a little more tomorrow.

As of now I'm looking at Jack O Lyn in the 1st.

--Dunbar

(I actually stayed with Sister Moon today because I didn't see the scratch in the 4th. Either it was a late scratch or I somehow misread it!)
