Good Luck All!

I'm with you. May not win that often, but away from Del Mar, she hits the board with incredible consistency.

went with Get Funky on day one, going with Details R Sketchy today.. Good luck to everyone still in it.

Im with you on this one Zip. I was thinking of North Fork, but the 9 horse field drew me away from that one and onto DRS.
I'm sure a good 75% of players left are with us also.

Immanuel Kant 09-25-2008 12:13 PM

count me as one of the above mentioned Details R Sketchy supporters

swedejxn 09-25-2008 12:40 PM

ran like a 1/5 should.....

My first three picks were 1,2,3 in the first. Pick won the second. Pick won the third. Two top picks were 2nd, 3rd in the 4th. Pick was second in the 5th. BUT the horse I took for the contest in the 6th was PULLED UP on the first turn.

AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

Almost have to use race 2 today, leaning towards Zilla or Silent Kitten right now.:zz:

Immanuel Kant 09-26-2008 09:23 AM

Race 2 is one tough little race for a field of 5

Is Silver Swallow okay? She walked off, correct?

Hope she's alright...

swedejxn 09-26-2008 10:54 AM

Race 2 could be a nightmare affair.... I think Foxy will get a clear trip from the outside (Post 5.. lol) 3rd off layoff and while Pasach's win numbers are that hot.... his ITM% is over 50 on most angles.... and Smith has ridden the horse well in the past...

swedejxn 09-26-2008 10:57 AM

Looking at Taking porto santo in the 7th just on experience alone...

Immanuel Kant 09-26-2008 12:21 PM

there's always a danger that too much time looking at something can make you see things that aren't really there....

I'm beginning to think that this might be the case for me with race 2...I can make a case for all 5 horses...and once the race is run it'll appear obvious that there is no way two or three of them ever had a shot.

playing Peppermint

viscount26 09-26-2008 01:06 PM

I'm taking Eight Below in the 4th

sundaysilenceforever 09-27-2008 08:59 AM

I came off of Peppermint Lounge and went with Zilla at the last minute...at least I'm still alive.

Is anyone NOT going with either Zenyatta or Hystericalady today?
Z for me....

swedejxn 09-27-2008 02:19 PM

I'm going with lady
my other half.... errrrr my second entry... going with z just in case...

swedejxn 09-28-2008 07:10 AM

Like tiz elemental in the 4th... cocobelle will go for the lead... but tiz's splits of late are better.... should be easy to go for the lead in the turn on the inside and then hold off Magnificence for the win.... 8 of 10 ITM and has the class edge on most.... Spenditallbaby is the wildcard having beat tiz in late april but hasn't shown much since... but then again rosario is struggling and ralphie is white hot.....

still playing tiz for the contest

Immanuel Kant 09-28-2008 07:59 AM

anyone else having problems...I log in and there are no entries up yet for today (Sunday)...(and yes, I'm still alive, so that's not the answer)

swedejxn 09-28-2008 08:11 AM

in fact it says no entries for Monday... doesn't say anything about Sunday???

maybe they aren't awake yet..... only 6 am there...lol

santana 09-28-2008 08:12 AM

same problem...send them an email !!!
I just did.

sundaysilenceforever 09-28-2008 08:19 AM

I just sent one also.

herkhorse 09-28-2008 08:43 AM

Well crap, I have to go to work:mad:

Immanuel Kant 09-28-2008 09:25 AM

sent an email as I must leave for the day as well.....would hate to be knocked out because of this

zippyneedsawin 09-28-2008 10:53 AM

me too. sent an email. no response. I'm guessing today will be a free pass since they haven't resolved the issue yet.

zippyneedsawin 09-28-2008 11:35 AM

for wednesday ... ciphering races 1 and 2

race 1 a toughie..... but a field of six

top choice south bay scoty... claimed for 62.5 3 mos ago... 2 for 3 at distance, ralphie b stays, and mitchell 40% claim repeats...

#2 polish pete.. first after claim for hollendorfer 28%, gets gogo, and 44% all weather...

#3 yankee visionary.. shortens up but may prefer longer ... oneill puts lep on this one while arambula is on his other horse storm brave which has beaten the top choice....

#4 storm brave

#5de car guy... wouldn't surprise... but might be wide if lep puts yankee v straight to the rail...

#6 hunter creek moving up in class for sherman and while numbers fit ok..
seems a tad beneath this ... but has shown improvement while moving up...

race 2 next

swedejxn 10-01-2008 07:14 AM

race 2 lots of choices field of 9

choice kenya skye... made up ground final 16th in April and fast works for return for canani with gomez up...

black eyed lady.... e.harty 2nd off at 25% was ok in last but needed it and bej stays

splendid kiss... off since may and comes off turf... well bred and could be a winner

shes cheeky on the board in all five and solis will have this one running late...


stuttgart... sadler picked this one up at delmar and ran well from post 12 in last... still outside but only 9 in this group and 28% 2nd off claim...

finally tastes sis.. dam has dropped 40% stakes winners... marquetry underrated sire.. while GMandella % are low in this spot ... has a plus roi!!!
could be a big upset ....

playing race 1 and scoty
