I'm currently #879, no lucky shoe.

Arletta, I forgot on day two. I've had to play it safer with no backup.

I still hanging in and still have my shoe.. Now I just need to start moving UP instead of down in the standings.

Here are my selections for today:

Race 4) Powerful Storm
Race 8) Heavenly Chorus
Race 9) Susans Find

how is it possible that that many of the contestants pick every winner of every race? Is it because so many have multiple entries? every day many , many entrants have all three winners no matter the price?

Your horse has to finish in the $$, not just win to stay in.

(I barely did today by just having one of my picks run 3rd.)

Default THE day!

This day has been a LONG time coming....

Too bad there is'nt a horse running today called "againstallodds" because I would bet the bank! There is one named "Three miracles" and that will have to suffice

Best of luck to all playing.

Here are my picks I made for today.

Race 4) Trippin Away
Race 6) Arctiz
Race 9) Three miracles

Good question. I look at some of these prices and wonder how in the hell someone could have them all.

So far my real life betting patterns are holding true. I pick more second place horses than you would think possible.
