Here's what I locked into for the first 2 races

Race #1: Aqueduct No.7, Remsen Stakes:
(Pgm. No. 5) Congo King

Race #2: Churchill Downs No.9, Golden Rod S.:
(Pgm. No. 3) French Park

Bluegrass Cat looks unbeatable, but I'm not taking him at 2/5-1/2. French Park I think will have a small edge on the dirt over Beau Dare and since they look to be going off at very similar odds, nod to French Park

[OTM Al]

Lost the Remsen but a winner in the Goldenrod for a big $8.40 bankroll. Taking a couple stabs in the next 2

Race #3: Aqueduct No.8, Cigar Mile:
(Pgm. No. 9) Gygistar

Race #4: Churchill Downs No.10, Dream Supreme H.:
(Pgm. No. 10) Injustice

Looking for speed duels in both.

[OTM Al]

Bingo! 11-1 shot survives the inquiry at CD. Gygistar didn't get me any returns, but darn near did. Little better trip and he may have had it too. Going back to conservative for the next 2 races. Both look pretty darn strong to me anyway

Race #5: Aqueduct No.9:
(Pgm. No. 8) War Plan

Race #6: Churchill Downs No.11, Ky. Jockey Club S.:
(Pgm. No. 3) Private Vow

Private Vow was my #2 on BC day and should run away from these. War Plan has the class and looks wound up and ready to go....You know TVG is part sponsor of this contest...you think they'd get off Hollywood and give a little more on the CD and Aqu races for the moment....Bankroll $41.80

[OTM Al]

Big $5.80 for Private Vow, but it was the max the race could pay....up to $47.60

Took Arabian Spell for the 12th at CD. Need a bomb and he looks decent for it.

[Red Knave]

Tied for 64rd right now with 79.00

Al, I talked myself out of Injustice and went with Savorthe time :mad:

[OTM Al]

It was a nervous minute or so with her, but it has been my only good pick of the day. Got to go for bombs now

Race #8: Hollywood Park No.5:
(Pgm. No. 3) Papa Squirrel

Race #9: Hollywood Park No.6:
(Pgm. No. 11) Tiz Only Money

Race #10: Hollywood Park No.7:
(Pgm. No. 8) Deputy Buck

I'm tied for 335th according to the leaderboard. Those 2 monsters at Aqu got some big bankrolls going. Least you got Purge. That race gave you more than the whole 7 of mine :)

[toetoe]

Don't you have to get your picks in before the first post?

[Red Knave]

Well,I finished tied for 123rd out of at least 3300.
Al, as it turned out, it didn't matter about Injustice ;).

[Red Knave]

Don't you have to get your picks in before the first post?
No. In this contest it's 5 minutes before original post time.

Oh, and did I mention, I like AQU, don't mind CD and HATE HOL ? :D

Sounds like an injustice to me :). Nice showing anyway Bob!

Thanks Bill (and for getting (forgetting?) that really poor joke).

Looks like if I want to go to Vegas in January, I have to pay my own way :(

[OTM Al]

One more chance next week I think. Same deal. 3 open spots.
