Day 40
The deadline has passed , the picks are all in and already we have a major development. In what some may say is a brilliant strategical move , Bert Convy trailing Pedalcar by a mere 80 cents has used his five remaining picks on every runner in the third race . Therefore barring the race being called a “no contest” ( stranger things have happened) Pedalcar can not win the contest as he has used all his picks . I’m guessing next year he’s going to save one back.
While BertConvy is guaranteed a winner in the third , this could open the door for the chasing pack of Turbine , Propro , Italian Stallion , Salestopper and Hooper who all have picks left .

You can’t go through the card if you don’t win the first race and WrightStuff needs to do that to win the contest and he’s off to the right start as I’m Perfect Too 5/2 runs down favourite Equal Pay at the wire

Race 2 is where it really starts to get interesting with contender and defending champion Propro selecting Call Sign Charlie and Hooper on Chiara.

Currently a downpour at Saratoga, thunderstorm moving through with the cold front. Hope they can stay on the turf.

Tom, on the last day are there any contingencies for late scratches (alternate selections) for the players. (or everybody just locked in on selections)

Tom, on the last day are there any contingencies for late scratches (alternate selections) for the players. (or everybody just locked in on selections) Locked in, per the contest rules. It is a topic we've discussed in the past, and could revisit, but for now you get what you get, even if that means only having 37 selections at the end of the day. TW |

Poor showings by both Chiara and Charlie as they are unable to overcome Adversity 3/1 in the second so no change in the leaderboard

The critical race three is coming up and we have a late scratch in En Wye Cee. Bad news for Bert Convy as this will likely reduce the odds on the winner which he is assured of getting having selected all five original runners. Hooper has No Word here

Takes a lot of skill for a jockey to get a bad trip in a 4 horse field.
Now I know why he is 9% for the meet.

In the upcoming fourth race Propro has Lady By Choice who is currently 7/1 from a 15/1 morning line .

Frills 6/5 but no thrills as Lady By Choice runs up the track and Bert Convy gets one step closer to the title

Looking forward to Franco screwing up the ride on my choice in R9.

In the fifth race Canyouhearmenow would shake things up at 50-1 while Hooper looks to Aruba to keep his hopes alive

They were so worried about him screwing up that they scratched Ruvies in Time (your horse) |

Tough luck if you had Realm of Law who lost jockey Irad Ortiz at the start as favorite Abaan dominates and another Hooper chance slides by

Social Exclusion at 45/1 gave Italian Stallion some excitement before fading in the stretch as Ocean Air at 2/1 gives WrightStuff his second winner of the day

I gather that no one had Sweet Franny Lou at 36-1. She looked very good for just a moment until she shortened stride and Ocean Air came a runnin'.

Not a command performance from either contender as even money favorite Dont Wait Up impresses

Bert Convy dodging bullets left right and center . In the next Rossa Veloce is the next one to avoid .
