Talamo stopped riding the horse 50 yards out, (after trying hard to get something in the stretch). The horse was empty. I continue to be the only horseplayer in the world who cannot succeed with Baffert!

Keep it going Dunbar

Many thanks, Arletta

Cheers, IK

And your horse only missed 3rd by a nose, IK! Very nice effort in the contest. We hardly ever had the same pick, but each found our own way to the final 129. In fact, the 4 of us had very little pick overlap.

I think there will only be about 50 players left after today. 3 of the top 4 choices missed.

Baffert has knocked me out of most of them too... You'd think we'd learn

IK...

You lasted so much longer than most people did...

You did a fantastic and very impressive job. I applaud you, Sir.
