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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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....

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...
