thanks, IK. I really don't want to screw up today. Pending scratch info, I'm either going with Lady Ten in 6-horse 1st race or Let's Get Crackin' in 5-horse 2nd race. Either way, I won't have to sweat long!
If I make it through today, we'll see whether a $3.40 show payoff is worth anything in the tiebreaker. --Dunbar (StLiam21)

One person was knocked out today--the one who picked a horse in the 8th race. So that leaves 7 of us in the tiebreaker. The first tiebreaker is the highest single show payoff up until April 13. My best payoff was $3.40. (on Halfponderosa on 3/15). If a 2nd tiebreaker is needed, it will go to the highest show payoff after 4/13. Mine would be $2.20, so I'd better collect on the first tiebreaker, or I'll come up empty-handed. They could post the final standings anytime. I would think they'd have the process pretty well automated. Thanks a lot for all the support, mmsc. Thank you A, br, IK, and OM, too! You made it a lot of fun. I'll post some stats soon. Hypothetical $100 parlay and hypothetical $100 flat bets... --Dunbar
