Thanks. It was a massacre today, as 903 out of the remaining 963 players were knocked out today. Just 60 of us left. 6 players are 5-0-0. I'm 4-1-0.

Thanks--going to need plenty of luck to just get through today! Too bad the 4-horse 3rd race is off limits!

I'm going with Almost A Lady in the 6th, even though I hate the drop down in class level after a good performance. There are things I hate more for all the other favs.

Some of the other favs are looking much better right now!

I'm out.

Yeah. That day was crazy. Good luck to anyone left, as I was one of the deceased in the massacre.

I just noticed that they added back 46 more players! There must have been some confusion about a scratch yesterday. At any rate, there were 106 left as of the start today, not 60. 857 were eliminated yesterday, not 903.

PLAYERS STILL IN: 106
PLAYERS OUT: 7104
