I am game again, and will start posting tomorrow. Going to give the card a once over tonight, and then wait for the scratches.

I entered the contest for the 1st time and gonna try my luck. As for me I love Gygistar. He got beat by Value Plus ,but he loves this track and should even get a fair price for the beast.If he scratches which I doubt he will I will play Value Plus.
Good Luck all

Put my day's pick in already...at work and only half awake, so didn't want to forget about it. Going with Plenty, #5, in the 7th. Only going to be a 6 horse race, and should in reality be contested by only 3 of them. If he scratches, I got no problem with taking whoever the post time favorite is for this lot.

I almost forgot about it. I thought today was a "tough" card with no real standouts, other than maybe Value Plus, but I ended on Seeking The Money in the 4th,

I WENT WITH SNOWMAN IN THE 6TH AND PLENTY IN THE 7TH
I hit the show contest horse about 75% of the time.
So after two days I have a bit better than 50/50 to go on into the 3rd day.
Best I ever did was to be eliminated as player 80.
A few years ago I went 18 for 20 in the Belmont on track contest and won the $1000, "most winning plays", prize..
They elminated that prize this year.
So good luck to us.

Off the board at 1/2 to 1...
That will happen about 22% of the time,,
(the same probability of winning on the come-out roll..)

Plenty is plenty good enough grabbing second. Sorry about Snowman Joe. He took out 18% of the field, so you weren't alone. Clean 2nd for Buddha as well. Either Gygistar or Value Plus out of the money turns day 1 into a real bloodbath. Wingman also took out 6% in the first

Well our races are run and Tonto gets the hard luck of St. Johns Dress finishing 3rd and then being disqualified. That's a crummy way to go out. Formula and I both got shows and Buddha is once again storming away with a win!
