Just getting into that ballroom is a significant feat, one that separates you from 99.99% of fellow horseplayers. Congrats on getting there, now you know firsthand what it takes to hoist that check at the end.

I felt overwhelmed Thursday late I had handicapped all the races and had some notes but then I got almost a writers block trying to pick my Optionals. I never played optionals before and didnt know where to start in putting together my list. It cost me the final 50 as I bypassed 2 on Friday where I had the winner and total WP payouts were in the upper 20's. I burned all my optionals looking for cap horses. This won't happen again if I am fortunate enough to get another crack.
