That one is rough but with Super Thursday counting double and the World Cup triple there's still time to move way up!

Oh well.... who else is still in this thing?

I had Kitty Covenant today (she just won).

The contest must have a malfunction. I selected Missjeanlouise on Friday night. She won the 5th race on Saturday. When I went in tonite to make a pick for Sunday my selection for Feb 19th shows "Races cancelled" and it says I am out of the contest.

Don't know what is going on with that. I am still in (just barely). Did you make selections for both Friday and Saturday? Their racing schedule seems to indicate that they only have live racing on Friday and Saturday for the rest of this month and then Tuesday-Wednesday, Friday-Saturday for both March and April. Send them an e-mail and ask for an explanation. Maybe they can straighten it out before next Friday.

That's crazy. Good thing you have time to email them and get it worked out.

Congrats to you, to Cal and to MisterGee.

Thanks. I stayed in by the width of my selection's nose hair on the first day and never stay in these things past the 3rd or 4th round, but I'll try to hang in best I can.

I went in on Saturday to pick that horse in Race 5 and it showed that every horse in that race scratched and did not allow you to pick that horse. I know the race scratched down to 4 horses and maybe they were trying to eliminate people from selecting any horses in that race. But since that race was open for you on Friday, they should allow any selections made Friday in that race.

They should just restart it.

I logged on to look... I now have 3 wins (??!!) and am in 45th place.

Placing doesn't matter... I think that's just random but 3 wins in two contest days?

It's all screwed up.

I sent an e-mail. The response was- Saturday will be declared a "no contest" . There was an issue with the scoring and how to score the race with no show wagering. I picked the winner before any of the scratches. Anyhow, they said the issue should be corrected by Friday and I (and others) should be re-instated and able to make picks for Friday's races.
