I'm leaning toward Queenie Marini in the 1st. But if either Hiero or Consulado scratch from the 4th, I'll take the one that stays.

We've made it to the last 7% of contest players! Damn, we're good!

There were actually 2 other horses scratched in that 4th race, reducing the starters to 6. Tempting to take Hiero or Consulado, but staying with Queenie Marini in the 1st.

Like mmsc, I fear I'll regret that decision!

Okay I did something I almost never do (for the same reason, the scratches) and changed my pick.

Congrats Ski in R4.

Will now go and hold my breath and bang my head against the nearest wall if Fordham Road does well.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I knew I was in serious trouble when he was the last horse listed in todays picks and a single person (some moron ) had him.

Well, you would have been in terrific shape if all the favs had lost! That's not a bad position to be in in a tournament.
