After watching Harry Spielberg's films, I was inspired
to take a shot at qualifying and made it to today... sometimes it only takes one.
Would love to be in the weekend show with you, Mr. Wright!

Charmineās Mia winning was a tough result for Elk but at least he only dropped down to 4th.

Yeah that Charmineās Mia, race was a killer. She was my 3rd choice, but really thought Jolie was close to unbeatable in that spot. Playing even money horse is a contest is a terrible idea in general. Oleksandra was no bargain either, Charmine was the only one I thought had any shit to hang with them, at 16-1 vs 1-1, it should have been a no brained. $15k+ mistake.
Still in a great spot heading into tomorrow and just getting a chance to sit down and get to work.... good luck tomorrow Eddie and Dell.
Anyone hear how the Tampa contest went?

Hey guys and girls.. great job Elk..,you are in an awesome position going in to day 2... Wow. Keep it going! Im sure Dell and Ed will be working hard tonight to have a good 2nd day!
My day in Tampa didnāt go well. I think there were about 87 or so in contest. Cool day and Covid probably had an impact.
I think I finished somewhere around 25th.... .. Just never got it going. That put aside I wound up with $660 dollars.. so it was worth the trip to Tampa (hour away)...
It was fun to finally be at a live track but Covid separation kept the contest a little reserved.. not a complaint .. just happy to be there.
Good luck tomorrow.
Jack

Thanks for cheating me on here guys. Sorry I couldnāt come thru with anything today.
Last race I was on the bubble. Had to chose between trying to hold on or go for it. The hold on choice was easy for me with the 11 who I though was much the best. I decided to go for it and was between the 1 & 7 both cappers and both I thought had a shot to run well. Ended up in the 7, and was the highest person on the 7 so I was alive for 1st. But as it went all day the 1 never looked back and another 20 people swept past.
On to the next one, but this one will sting for a while.

Elk. I watched you and a few others I know. You played well.. tough beat at the end.
I dislike the live bomb picking at the end.. I prefer pick and pray.
Maybe HT should tweak the game. Day one live.. day two pick and pray!..Stop the foolishness at the end of a game.
Thatās my thoughts from the peanut gallery!
