I don't know, it doesn't really make sense.... but it's more of a "re-grouping" thing. I'd rather start fresh when I flub it up. If I haven't hit one of these by the end of this round, I am going to a "one or two a day/best play of the day" strategy... I'm going a little too fast I think. A few of these races, even though they are 6 horses, aren't all that distinguishable.

I tend to agree that it would be more interesting if you were more selective, using the kind of big fav/short field that would tempt bridgejumpers.

Good job keeping your stats, btw!
