PLAYERS STILL IN: 129
PLAYERS OUT: 6442 TOTAL PLAYERS: 6571 I've already changed my pick twice for tomorrow. Surprisingly hard to find a solid choice considering there are 4 races with 6 entries. Right now I'm on Tiz Liberty in the 3rd, but that could easily change if there's a scratch down to 5 anywhere. Meanwhile, I haven't quite cracked the meaningless Top 100 list. Sitting at #102 now. Good luck, IK. --Dunbar

He is out of town and asked that I put his pick in for him for tomorrow. He is going with #2 Salty Sarah in the 1st race. Best of luck you two! |

There are scratches in the 1st, 4th and 5th that caused me to take another look at those races.
I switched to Halfapondarosa in the 1st. I can't ignore the "sign" that I was humming the theme to Bonanza yesterday! That, and the 7 lbs taken off by the switch to E. Flores. By picking a different horse in the same race as IK, I make it slightly less likely that both of us will advance, and slightly more likely that at least one of us will. --Dunbar

Talamo stopped riding the horse 50 yards out, (after trying hard to get something in the stretch). The horse was empty. I continue to be the only horseplayer in the world who cannot succeed with Baffert!
Keep it going Dunbar Many thanks, Arletta Cheers, IK

And your horse only missed 3rd by a nose, IK! Very nice effort in the contest. We hardly ever had the same pick, but each found our own way to the final 129. In fact, the 4 of us had very little pick overlap. I think there will only be about 50 players left after today. 3 of the top 4 choices missed. --Dunbar

Baffert has knocked me out of most of them too... You'd think we'd learn

Thanks, IK, mmsc & Arletta. Much appreciated!
Today I'm on Talkstoomuch in the 1st, but could easily take a horse in the 4th if there's a scratch that I have time to notice! (Talkstoomuch is an 8 yr old, which, I hope, is the reason they are offering her up at slightly less the claiming price than she last won at.) --Dunbar

Magical Eclipse in the 2nd is tempting, without even considering the fact that I'm a total solar eclipse nut.

Yes, and dodged a bullet by not switching to that horse in the 2nd.

Was surprised to see she was 3rd, but felt better when I saw she cleared 4th by over 7 lengths!
Everyone was on either Eden's Moon or Reneesgotzip yesterday, so no one was knocked out. Still 35 players. I think today's card will spread out the picks. My early pick is Brown Is Beige in the 2nd. I'll post again if I change it. --Dunbar
