Day 40
Its Hopeful day and several of our members are still hopeful that this will be the year that they are crowned Saratoga Cup Champion. We are getting off to an early start with fourth place contender Bitowisdom selecting New Member in the first race. Currently at odds of 7-1 which would be a nice start to the day.

Thatās race 1 in the books . New Member gave Bitowisdom a good run for his money but you didnāt need to be an Einstein to pick the winner here as the favorite Iranistan ($6.30) overcame this hurdle comfortably

No impact on the leaderboard as our three winners are all mid table but still have picks left so who knows. Race 3 is a big one for current second place holder Bert Convy who appropriately has Editor-At-Large. If you havenāt seen his selection post today please check it out, itās must see tv!

Editor At Large ($4.20) gets it done for Bert Convy but not the price he was looking for but the gap now is less than $10. Current standings
Propro 8/40 $204.20

Bert Convy has #7 Dudley Square here . A win would see him overtake Propro at the top of the leaderboard.
