It looks like I may have messed up on yesterday's update. I am having trouble with internet access on my home computer so hopefully the issue will be taken care of by this evening.

uncle23 has the lead with a day to go. architecto25 is second and the benchmark third. My home internet service is still down so hopefully I have these correct but I will try to make sure the final results are 100% correct.

Clark, on most days, I calculate the race's numbers not long after the close; and also on

most days, we have the identical percentages for every race horse.

You run a great race .... always THANK YOU.......

[clarkrl2]

My home internet service will be out until at least Aug. 29. I can still use my work computer to update the results. Since this is the last Friday of the month I have many other commitments for today. I will likely have a window to update todays result about an hour or two after the market close.

uncle23 goes wire to wire and wins by twenty lengths for this week's trophy. architecto25 is second and the benchmark third.

CONGRATULATIONS to uncle for a runaway Win in this week's race   And, to architecto for closing Place. 
The rest of us were just "also-rans"

[kadee79]

Congrats to Uncle & Arch. Mod, you stole my spot!

[ModE98]

Knew it was inevitable this week my horse would win last place honors.  Bad timing for an earnings miss.
