[Tiger Dancer]

Mid-Week Mayhem at Gulfstream (Wed Jan 19 2011)

Tiger Dancer came striding in last week, making her racing debut. She thought she would strut her stuff, but instead ended up taking a bath. Now her tail is limp and whiskers are drooping. Fear not… she will shake it all off and bound back on the race course again.
Swan dive into Gulfstream… though she may yet again end up just doing the tiger paddle or the backstroke.

FROM RUFFIAN:

Players:
In order to help out El Prado,
both RQ and I did scoring today...

Please Note:
BEFORE RACE 1
BEFORE ANY RESULTS

I notified all players that today would be
declared > UNOFFICIAL
due to so many scratches causing players to have ALL PIX OUT
(KD > NO Pix Left In R3 AND R8)

That simply is UNFAIR to all to let
today's results stand as Official in
year end totals...

Here are the Totals RQ + I Have:

ROC..........$75.30
Dusty.........$74.50
ITM............$46.80

Criminal Type....$45.30
Real Quiet........$44.60
El Prado...........$44.40
Ruffian.............$40.00
Tiger Dancer....$29.00
KD...................$16.20

NEXT WEEK: BOTS
To make up for today's Unofficial

CONGRATS ROC!
Good to see you back in the Gate!

ROC WILL CHOOSE VENUE

Please Include 'BOTS'
on the subject line header
when U post your Venue Thread
no later than MON 5 ET
Earlier Is Always Better!

KD > Scores

KD > Scores

No good deed goes unpunished, especially when you can find someone else to take the fall!

Oh well, I suppose it's not too large a price to pay to avoid my 2nd last place finish in what's still a new year. Wasn't even home early enough to know of the carnage rendered unto the Gulfstream fields, but did wonder if anyone else had suffered the same degree of shutout syndrome as I had.

Hopefully the weather Gods will cooperate next Wednesday as we BOTS heads at good old Upside Downs.

Congrats to ROC on that UNOFFICIAL win, and nice to see Dusty back in form again.

[Dusty]

ROC is ROC and rolling! WTG

[Roc525]

Thanks. Good luck to all next week for the rescheduled BOTS.

[Real Quiet]

Unofficially Officially Congrats ROC on a nice win at Gulfstream. Waiting until the last race and then swooping by the leader almost made me feel like I was on the rail watching a live race. Kudos Dusty on a great race and for making a profit to boot. Thanks El for scoring.
