Differentkindagreat won, but so did pretty much every fav yesterday. Yet amazingly enough, another 53 people dropped by the wayside leaving 424 players.

Lots of short fields today. I'm probably going with Talktoomuch in the first.

178 of us chose Talktoomuch. I watched the race and thought my contest was finished. Talktoomuch fell back into 4th place with the wire maybe 25 yards away--then the unbelievable happened. The horse running 2nd took a couple of awkward steps and lost the rider, allowing Talktoomuch to finish 3rd.

56 more people dropped out today. Now just 368 of the original 3713 are left. My tournament equity hits double figures: 3713/368 = $10.

Brain f**t. The equity is 5000/368 = $13.59

Traveling all day today. Have to pick before seeing scratches.

Sam's Special in the 2nd. Go Mullins!

Still in. 40 more dropped out yesterday, leaving 328.

Tough day today. I like Cardiff Giant in the 8th, but there were 2 scratches from the 2nd, leaving just 5 horses--meaning I only need to beat 2 of them to stay alive.

I can see the 2 most likely to finish out of the money, but it wasn't at all obvious to me which of the other 3 is the safest bet. Went with Langfuhrious. Will probably regret deserting Cardiff Giant.
