Character Analysis John Galt

Galt is the hero and main character of Atlas Shrugged, because his principles drive the action and the conflict of the story. The book explores what occurs when the thinkers go on strike. Galt conceives of the strike, initiates it, sustains it, and carries it to a successful resolution. Part of the fascination of Atlas Shrugged is that its dominant character works behind the scenes, his existence unknown to the reader, for the first two-thirds of the novel. The question invoking his name lends a legendary quality to his character, as if he were, in part, a mythological being. In a universe populated with giants, his is the character of greatest stature. The mystery shrouding the story's unfolding conflict results from the choices he makes. The strike is necessarily secretive, so the disappearance of the world's great thinkers must be a mystery to everyone outside of Galt's circle.

Congrats Ruffian.  Clearly my highly scientific strategy of picking, in order, the 3rd longest ML choice, the 2nd and the longest shot (with a couple exceptions for real no-hopers and switched my 1st race pick right before post because live odds were much higher than ML plus expensive mother, highly desirable BM sire and cool name) did not work out.  I'll have to try another strategy next week.

Congrats Cruzan!!

Sorry I don't do mud or even slightly soft turf, checked forecast ahead of time and saw no rain, then, it rained. Good thing I put in my betting rules way early on to never, ever ever bet off tracks, even a little bit off, has to be fast and firm for me, so I didn't lose any real money.  And I'm back this week and there better not be rain!!

Quote from: RUFFIAN on August 04, 2022, 11:24:55 AM#1 = YOU GET ALL
           IF U JUST WANT PART
                        #1a ONLY

Cool, glad we can do that here!  I don't like coupled entries partly because it's usually impossible to predict a day or two ahead of time which or if both will run and lots of times I only like half the entry, then the part I like scratches and I'm stuck with a horse I don't like at all in my picks.

Any chance we can also just specify the 1, not the 1a?  Not trying to be too demanding or anything.
