Drats! She drugged us all again, and I believed she was actually sharing those magic oats!

Those horses can't get away from Little Blackie - they're loaded down with fat men and iron.

If one horse is running in different directions ... when will SBS go Bimetal(aupt) ?

D.I. takes the lead with an amazing 16% gain for two days but Yclept and SlowbutSure are in hot pursuit. For those of us with long positions ... back to the stables. | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close |

It's not in the contest this week.... however, but SlowbutSure, remember the symbol JAMN, from a few weeks back. My pick on the 6 May contest (won all 5 days); then 2 weeks later, on the 20 May contest, you picked it as a short. (& won even more,all 5 days ....as a short). Today it's up 84%. I can only think of one word..... a CRAZY stock.... or perhaps VOLATILITY would fit it...  |

We have three more days, on a very sloppy track. More rain may be expected to make this one a real mudder. Have to watch SBS as she can really sling the mud on other horses and crack the whip wildly. D.I. and yclept ahead, and the others just behind, better take care!  |

I do! And I usually check it to see if I think it'll be a winner again.  Hmm, based on the deal that was reported today, I wonder if my office is going to see any of their coffee in the near future. Maybe you guys need to convince 2k10h to finally muck out the stalls; a happy horse is a fast horse. Poor jarhead.  Last week, a 2% increase was enough to win; today with 3%, you aren't even mentioned. |

Volumes seem to be 50% to 100% above daily averages. That is looking only at a majority of the posted horses.

D.I., are you feeding your horse some illegal steroids and magic oats too? Perhaps SBS groped your horse in a tender, inappropriate place. He sure took off like a rocket.... to the moon, baby! You must be 100 yards ahead the crowd by now.

I just took a look at my Pick to see what it was doing today and all I can do is say  . Good for you D.I. Yeah, I've been watching you and yclept kick my butt today (hooray for gadgets!). I'm still up over 8% today and my butt is being kicked.  |

Just the words, " Up 8% today", with markets down @ 350 pts, seems sureal.

Well, in the real-money ports I've got two that are up over 11% right now, EPV and SRTY. Shouldn't that count as matching D.I.'s TVIX? Just kidding, wish to heck I'd have put some of that TVIX in the real ports when I saw you pick it.  Can we expect this kind of volatility to continue? If so we ought to be down to 750 or so on the ndx within a week! I wish I could remember where I used to get intra-day volume for indices -- I'll bet it's blasted through the roof today. DOW Ind down 400 -- go baby go! I am sorry for the longs, but have to gloat a bit, it's so seldom I get to do so! |

Shorts lead the pack by a wide margin with D.I. in a perfect spot for the dash to the wire. I forget what the record is for a one week game so maybe the "keeper of the records" could help me out. Might we have a new all time gain setter? | Player | L or S | Symbol | $ Open | $ Close | % Close |

I'm pretty sure it is 58% for this year; I'll check tonight to see if that's the all-time highest. ETA: Not that I care all that much as it's not the end of the week, but could you change my closing price? I don't want burger to think that he can beat me too! No big deal.  |

Good grief, Charlie Brown, this is mayhem. One more day, can D.I. improve to 70.00+? With such momentum, may become the "Horse of the Year".  |

and SlowbutSure is so modest..... she didn't tell you that the all-time record of 58.28% was set by her by shorting JAMN on the 20 May 2011 contest..... and that record still stands (at least until tomorrow).

If someone reaches 100%, that means he/she's run the whole track right? So he/she has to start over at 0%, right? Arch. |

and they were magic. ;D
Last week, a 2% increase was enough to win; today with 3%, you aren't even mentioned.
