Meadowlands Survivor Contest

[sq764]

Well, I went with Die Lute as my 'hit the board' horse to get me onto day 2.. Still searching for my 2 value horses.. Leaning to LEMON PEPPER in the 7th and SUPREME PAT in the 10th..

[melman]

Best of trips to all who entered the M1 survivor game, nice prizes and no entry fee. Just due to an quirk I went with the 2's LOL. In each of the contest races I have the 2 horse. BTW for anyone who wants to get into the contest there is still time, you have until 30 minutes to 1st post to make picks or change your picks. Also BigM provides FREE past performances for the contest races right on the contest page.

[melman]

Got by night one with a 2nd place finish in race 10. A few people picked all three contest races correctly but this is a long haul.

[RERACING]

[toetoe]

My man Mel,
New contest every week? How's it work?

[sq764]

I should be very much in the mix after tonight.. I had PATCH ADAMS N, FRANCO CATAPULT N, and MACIE THE FARMER... 2nd, 1st, 2nd..

Had a rough night until I caught a nice win bet on Franco at 9/1

[melman]

SQ, very nice looks like you are tied for 22nd after the first two days. I am still in the game but just by a nose as Art's Advantage was 3rd in the last contest race. Toetoe your to late for this survivor game they only have one per meet.

[RERACING]

I am still in had 2 horses to place, but way down around 550

[sq764]

Mel I gotta remember to put in my picks each day, I tend to forget..

But I saw the top prize was $2 grand, so I should take it seriously..

[melman]

ReRacing, whata ya mean way down around 550, that looks good to me being so far back. I had better be a closer and a deep closer at that. On the bright side I am still in the game. LOL
For Tuesday night
R6 Yankee Landa
R8 Team Sakra
R10 Callie's Candyman

[sq764]

I didn't like a whole hell of a lot on the card, but I went with:

Liscartin, Typhoid and Suzy's Solitaire... Dube is on Typhoid and he has very good speed, and Dube is very aggressive.. Like his chances at 8/1 ML..

[sq764]

Well, that quickly I think I didn't survive.. Liscartin is my least favorite pick of the contest and I need him to hit the board to stay..

[melman]

Still in the game with two second place finishes last night. Also still to pick a winning horse. LOL For tonight.

[melman]

Still hanging in there with you ReR. All the way up to around 503rd place :D However the name of this game is "survivor" and it is a route and not a sprint. LOL I have noted that a lot of people ahead of us on the leaderboard are listed as "out" and can make no more selections. If that keeps up I may even be able to sneak into the top 100. :)

[melman]

ReR, just noticed on the survivor page that only 348 people are left in the game to make more selections. The field is thinning out now if about 200 more drop out I may be able to make to top 100. LOL

[RERACING]

6r--3
7r--3
9r--3

[RERACING]

today all 2's maybe 2's lucky today

[melman]

There are now 311 people left in the game who can make more selections. Had a winner and two thirds last night.

[IRISHLADSTABLE]

Good luck the rest of the way .

Jimmy

[BIG RED]

Keep hanging in there guys.

[melman]

Thanks to both Irishlad and BigRed took until the last race of the contest last night but had a winner so still in the hunt. After last night there are 204 people still in the game. I know that ReRacing is still in it also as he is listed just ahead of me in the standings. Way to go ReR. :)

[melman]

[RERACING]

[melman]

Had the winner of the first contest race last night and a good thing I did as the other two were nowhere. Getting interesting now with only 103 people still in the game.

[RERACING]

[melman]

Had a place and a show on Saturday night so still in the game. There are now 89 people left.

[BIG RED]

How did my picks do :-)

[melman]

:) Did very well SQ hope you made some "real" money. Last night a winner and a third and no one dropped out so still 82 players left.

[melman]

The "survivor" list is now down to 73 stayed in with one winner and a show last night. Also a tip of the hat to JoeG and SQ for sharing there thinking on the contest races. On to another wild Saturday night of racing at M1 :)

So when you win those plane tickets, don't forget your friends :-)

[sq764]

I think Johnny Be Cool N looks like a confident one to add tonight to keep you 'surviving'.. He's super sharp right now..

I am hoping Landmark Hall stays around that 9/2, I think he's got some value tonight

[melman]

Tks SQ the contest races tonight are 7-8-10 and your correct "the cool one" does look solid. Am thinking of "the cams" for races 8 and 10. That would be Art's Cam and Vintage Cam. Will have to look over "Landmark" again. Plane tickets TV sets cash will be glad to share, after all the entry fee for this contest was zero. LOL :)

[sq764]

Nah, don't share...

Just buy me a beer at the 202/Rt 1 Turf Club one night

[melman]

Last night one winner and one show as I has to change a pick due to the SCR of Art's Cam. Now 72 left in the survivior game.

This lasts until the end of May then back again to Tues thru Sat nights. In the survivor races last night had two winners and a show and there are now 59 people remaining.
