Ha, ha! Seriously...the biggest mistake I made in this entire contest is never having him in my stable, so I have this feeling that now that I added him he is going to lose.

The game cuts off at the end of the 5th day of the month, which is midnight on the 6th, last night. That's a bummer....sorry that happened to you

India didn't help my case either by breaking her tongue tie before the race, but honestly I thought she would run super-well or badly and few people added her. I slipped back to 59th, I hope you did much better!

I seriously considered adding in Tiago instead of Sam P late last week (since I was so far back in the standings) but he wasn't on the list! Still could get some more points this week with Street Sense, Curlin and Showing Up.

Yeah, Latent Heat hurt. So did Ermine, which I went back and forth with Round Pond for that one, and Corinthian's gate antics killed me as well. I slipped to 20th. I only have one more horse running this month...Curlin!

To quote Trevor Denman "They would need to sprout wings to catch" .....me

Assuming Price Tag doesn't win, and Curlin doesn't get hurt before the Ark Derby, it will probably take some magic for anyone other than the 2nd, 3rd, or 5th place guy to beat me.

The Curlin win was key for me...it gives me a 100 point cushion. I hope I don't choke....

I'm in 128th place in the 3yo contest, but I still have 11 moves left. I wasn't smart enough to use Domincan today...I think I could make a run into the top 10 or 20, but winning will probably be tough.
