Might as well stick with OPK (long) and see what happens.  Actually hold shares, so hope for a good race.

Clark, just a friendly reminder : "Be sure you get LINC's neck measured prior to Friday, so he
won't have difficulty with the collar of roses ..   He's having a great race .....

   added note:  Market closed about 20 min. ago; BigCharts has this:
   NYSE:   52 wk. highs 238
              52 wk. lows   6
   I look at this as a major very bullish indicator.

Congrats clarkrl2 for win (that was quite a runaway 😊), kadee79 for show, and ModE98 for almost!!

Only 0.02% behind QQQ finally!😆

[ModE98]

It was a good week for clarkrl2, charging to a fine Win. Our shorts, Ombud for Place and kadee for Show.  Congratulations to all !!! 

[architecto25]

Yes, ... a good week ... CONGRATULATIONS to Clark (win); Ombud (Place ); & kadee (show ).
When you look at Clark's day scores ( 4 day week ). He got a "4"  (1/1/1/1) .... can't get any
better than that.

When I play golf, I foolishly tell friends, I always win .... I got the high score ...

I've been planning to tell Clark for sometime, about this score keeping method. It's
obvious he fully understands it....... LOL
Ombud was #2 this week by this method....  (2/4/3/2) ....  that's an 11.      

[tyfighter3]

Well, with my scorecard this week, I should have a good handicap going into next week but sometimes it could be better not to play. LOL
