I noticed your name on the leader board late in the day and was pulling for ya.<br /><br />In the 10th race at AQU I actually used Pierre Tomas in the contest - figuring he had the choice of mounts. I considered the 3 for a moment, but ultimately thought Mr. Tomas knew more than me. It was an exciting finish as the 2 leaders were literally walking the last part of the race, while Pierre Tomas was deceptively "flying" at the end to just miss. Good hit!<br /><br />..and good luck in the finals.<br /><br />paulPaul K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17272364236562881119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768887527712554781.post-4727557592354894562013-03-31T23:33:40.173-04:002013-03-31T23:33:40.173-04:00Bill,
Congrats on earning two entries into the fi...Bill,<br /><br />Congrats on earning two entries into the finals. I normally don't play multiple entries but this past weekend I bought 2 in the Derby Wars Dubai qualifier for the $25K contest later in the day and I also earned 2 in the Derby Wars/Fairgrounds Louisiana Derby Championship.<br /><br />My strategy was to pick logical horses on one entry and live price horses on the other. In the Dubai contest my logical horse entry finished in 2nd, which was good enough for a paid entry in the $25K contest. The other entry finished in 5th.<br /><br />In the DW/FG contest my logical horse entry finished in 2nd and the other finished in 4th. I did deviate a bit in this one because my logical entry was down in the high teens with 2 races to go. In the 2nd to last race I really liked a first time starter and used that horse on the other entry, which at the time was in 2nd and picked another firster on the entry that was pretty far behind. The 23/1 firster won and boosted my logical entry into second and the other stayed in 4th, which is where they ended up.<br /><br />To sum it up I had good success by playing normally on one entry and taking shots on the other. I kept the strategy the same until late in the day because I didn't want to start mixing and matching top plays with long shot plays. Doing that would surely result in a catastrophe and undue headache from over thinking the game plan.<br /><br />Hope this helps and good luck in the finals.<br /><br />Lenny Lennyhttp://www.equinometry.com/aboutnoreply@blogger.com
