$28.60 for me, but it should have been higher. Unfortunately, I am an idiot. Here is what I did:

Two of my original horses scratched, and instead of simply moving my alternate selection up to the top pick, I chose different horses for the top spot. Both original alternates ended up winning. Luckily, my newly selected top picks both ran 2nd, so I got a few points in spite of my stupidity. But I would have been at $39.20 for the day if I had just entered my picks and not changed anything.

8 races, 0 winners, 5 seconds (including 30-1 Coragil Cat in Arlington's 10th).

too much chalk for me to qual. wish I'd have taken my alt picks (took some longshots and put the chalk as alts incase of scratches). would have had 4 winners and 2 places.
