Kitodan looks interesting. Shipped early, two works here, wet track is good, 7F is good. One contestant is very interested. $2 ATB.

Two races to go for Bert Convy to hang on. Propro’s last shot coming up with the appropriately named Alley Oop Johnny

Atone gives Salestopper a glimmer of hope as we go into the last race . But wait a minute there’s an objection

That was un..be..lievable! Last horse, last race. AE. Just the odds needed. You can't make that stuff up. Big congratulations to Salestopper! Bertconvy, huge condolences for a second year in a row. That is among the toughest beats I've ever seen. You should be proud of your efforts in this contest, even though it probably doesn't mean much right now. I need a stiff drink!

OMG....what a finish, shades of Harley Zumbrum for Bert, sorry, but valiant effort. Congrats to Salestopper for the win courtesy of Happy Hill Lil with one final surge. A finish befitting Larry LaTour. WOW.

That was a great finish and superb handicapping Thanks! I was only trying to pick mid priced horses, and in all honesty, I picked the last horse because some friends of ours own a farm called Happy Hill.

I was only trying to pick mid priced horses, and in all honesty, I picked the last horse because some friends of ours own a farm called Happy Hill. However you did it, you won and that's what counts. You did a great job. All in all it was a fun contest and I enjoyed competing against some excellent players. As they used to say in Brooklyn (Ebbets Field), " Wait till next year".

I was about as surprised to win that as I was when I bet ROCKAMUNDO to win the Arkansas Derby back in ‘93!
