Race 3

#5 Tall And Sweet

Good Luck!

Fri, 1-30-15
 

Going against the obvious play today, The Gomper, as he strikes me as a late running sprinter and being by Sky Mesa I'm not sure he'll improve on the stretchout. So I'm taking a shot and going with...

Race 5

#3 Twentytwentyvision

Good luck!

Well done ranger./ Keep it going

Sat. 1-31-15
 

Thanks Knicks, I appreciate the well wishes.

With The Gomper running pretty much like I hoped, he knocked out the vast majority of the field and now all of a sudden I have the last intact streak, and I have a six-day lead over the next active streak! Under the old rules, I'd be $5000 richer, but for now we press on, and on Saturday we go with...

Thanks for noticing:)

I've got Texas Red today.

#10 Ritzy Tags

Good luck!

Hoping to get to 30 in a row to start the meeting today.

Sat. 2-14-15
 

Survived another rough day where the top two selections were both 4th, tomorrow's pick is a little risky being a firster, but looks like the real deal...

Good luck!

Fri 2-20-15
 

Now at 33 in a row, up to a 13 day lead over the next active streak. Pick for Friday is...

Race 3

#7 Majestic Minister

Good Luck!

Keep it rolling Ranger!!!

Thanks Knicks I really appreciate it.

Another big favorite fell by the wayside today as Appealing tale was off the board and had as many picks for him as the next 9 horses combined. So we're up to being 15 ahead of the next active streak at 34/34, pretty amazing and totally unexpected. I didn't give my pick for day 2 of the contest because I didn't really expect to last beyond day 2, yet here we are.

So anyway, the pick for Saturday is...

Race 9

#12 Gimme Da Lute

Good luck!

Sun. 2-22-15
 

Now up to a 20-day (or five race week) lead over the next active streak, seems too good to be true. Thought about taking Daddy D T tomorrow as a show of support to Steve and the site tomorrow, but being a turf race and having Talamo on board I had to look in another direction, so I settled on....

Race 3

#5 Sprouts

Good luck!

Thurs. 2-26-15
 

First occasion for me to use a horse I've already played, it's...

Race 7

#6 Fantastic Style

Good luck!

Fri 2-27-15
 

Up to 37-for-37, trying to keep it going by trying to beat another favorite as I just don't see anything special about Cyrus Alexander other than his purchase price, so I went in another direction and went with...


Race 4

#10 Coded Message

Good luck!

Sat. 2-28-15
 

The seven of us who picked Coded Message (vs 554 for Cyrus Alexander) rode her to a third place finish today, good enough to keep the streak going at 38-for-38. Tomorrow's pick figures to be a little more popular, it's the big favorite of the day, as long as they don't stiff him again to boost his price in the Churchill Downs Handicap, it's...

Race 5

#6 Masochistic

Good Luck!

Race 6

#11 Faith Proof

Good luck!

Thurs. 3-5-15
 

Well, made it through 40 days, and still going strong! A mythical $2 show parlay on my first 40 picks, allowing for full re-investment of all partial dollars, would have been worth $1,110. No, I didn't do it...

So anyway, on we go for the next 40 (and beyond,) starting with...

Race 6

#6 Grazen Sky

Good luck!

Also, thanks to all who have been following along, I appreciate your interest and support as we continue toward our goal of keeping that streak alive.

Fri. 3-6-15
 

Up to 41 in a row, just holding serve right now as the last few days have been pretty formful with no real knockout type horses missing the board.

Tomorrow's pick is a little troubling as it is in a turf route, which is more of a "rider's race" and sometimes they get a little too cute out there, but he should have plenty of margin for error on this one, it's...

Race 3

#2 Miss Boom Boom

Good Luck!

Sat. 3-7-15
 

Up to 42 in a row, I know tomorrow I'm "supposed" to pick Shared Belief but in 13 horse field we've already seen with him that anything can happen, plus lots of huge Big 'Cap favorites have finished out of the money (Twirling Candy, Gentlemen, etc.) and if he runs out maybe I can put more daylight between me and the rest of the field, so I'm going to instead go with....

Race 4

#5 Never Ends

Good Luck!

Sun. 3-8-15
 

Going against Shared Belief wound up being a mistake as it cost me a win, but we still made it to 43 in a row. Taking another repeat horse, this time from day 3 back on 12/28, it's...

Race 8

#7 Tribal Gal

Good luck!

You the man!!! Keep it going

It finally happened
 

Well, finally missed a pick as Tribal Gal could only manage a 4th today. I'm still going to be ahead at least for the next month but I will let this thread finally go into hibernation and will post next if I'm in danger of losing the lead.

Thanks to Knicks for the messages of support and to all my other "silent partners" who viewed this thread on a daily basis.

Sorry to hear that ranger but great run...I for one didn't post during your streak for fear of jinxing ya..my streak stopped after 4:) and since have been chasing 50-1 shots..now looks like i have to catch a 90-1:eek:
If memory serves i think the last SA showvivor winner had a streak of 60..Guy closest to you has streak of 21 has long way to go...GL

great run ranger. Start up another one next racing day.

nice run ranger, good luck!

Really nice run Ranger....good luck the rest of the way!!
