That's odd. I could have sworn this said "Churchill Downs" (the track I picked) yesterday.  Hm.

OK, scratch this. I did pick Churchill as my top pick,  but our fearless host has an affinity for DMR for some reason. The weather is better... turf racing is not. Carry on!

[peeptoad]

2. 1-3

My humble apologies to our defending champion,  Peeptoad 

      The change of venue was due to miscommunication
And misunderstanding on my part of her wishes         

                   If I could turn back time I would

If ever I wanted somebody to win a three peat it is now
And if she does not
The blame is on me 

[peeptoad]

No blame, no worries... and also almost no time on my part, so that's part of the reason for the randomizer this week. I put my chances for 3peat in the roulette wheel... let's see what happens.

I think in all fairness to Peepers that this week should be a "no contest" which means it's running for purse only.... thus giving Peepers next Saturday at the track she really wanted which is Churchill Downs to go for her much valued three peat

Del Mar race 1 has only 6 runners & race 2 only 4 runners race 3 only 6 race 8 the "feature" only 5
just awful

1:   5,4
2:   2,1
3:   5,6
4:   8,6
5:   9,8
6:   7,5
7:   10,8
8:   3,5
9:   7,5

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- x

I WILL GIVE SERIOUS CONSIDERATION TO THIS SUGGESTION
TO EASE MY CONSCIENCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING HER WISHES   

SEEING THE DEL MAR CARD FIELD SIZES
      MAKES ME REGRET EVEN MORE   

HARD TO UNDERSTAND HOW SUCH A NICE TRACK
IN A PLACE LIKE CALIFORNIA
      HAS SO FEW ENTRIES!   

                      Additionally to be fair also to today's winner   
         The top four finishers will go into the year end awards record book   

     The winner of today will have a "credit" of being able to choose the track
The next time that I win, or if somebody else "donates"  their victory to That Winner

            I have always tried to be flexible and fair ~ hopefully this will help

[Roamin]

I know it don't matter what I think but I agree with cigershop, peep toad deserves to have the track she wants.
