Ranger, you're slipping on the total! Will this Saturday top last Saturday's?

Over a hundred now.

It feels like 5,000 -- this is a grind!

I was out all night last night so I was unable to do the total for Friday, but from what I saw from the afternoon I estimate the total for Friday to be at least $9,000, so I will use that number as the total for Friday.

Saturday, however, was a record day for the nags, as they managed a combined $29,646 in losses, bringing the new total to $98,271. Hookdonchurchpunch in the first at the spa was only 18-1 and was responsible for $9,147 just by herself. So far the record low was on Friday at Arapahoe, Robyns Return drew only $21 in win bets.

It's a grind keeping up with you, so I can only imagine how it is for you, but I will persevere through the end, it is amazing to get this far and not have even one horse be respoonsible for any winning wager of any kind so far.

Thanks for the good record keeping Ranger.

I was flirting with taking Sea Island in the Alabama Stakes -- who was 13/1 in a race with over $1 million in the WPS pool -- but the unique distance of 10fs and the likelihood of a very fast pace was just enough to discourage me.

112 down, only 888 more to go.

All 10 of them went down in defeat.

One of them was dead last throughout at Finger Lakes at just 16/1 odds. Another one was buried at Saratoga at 25/1.

However, Trust In Frank finished 2nd (beaten about 10 lengths) at Mountaineer Park...he broke the streak of 133 straight to finish out of the top 3. Be sure to bet against everything he beat in that race, next time.

Current record stands at 134 starts, 0 wins, 1 second, 0 thirds, 2 fourths.

134 down, only 866 more to go.

Today's bums attracted approximately $11,407 to win on them, bringing the total up to $131,884. Totals are approximate due to not having access to detailed pool info for Parx, amounts are estimated based on odds and pool size.

Today also set a record for longest off odds of any of the bums, as Brave Samson in the 10th at Parx went off at 195-1. He was never better than 11th at any call and was beaten 22 lengths.

As is typically the case, the bums had a major falloff in money lost on Tuesday versus where they had been, but still managed to court $2,029 in losses, bringing the grand total so far to $133,913.
