XXII (Long) 22nd Century Group Inc. closed Friday at $5.13. I entered this horse 2 weeks ago; came in 3rd. The chart just popped out of a consolidation area. I would like to see what he'll do this week. I found some interesting picks this week, but settled on this one. |

Do not know, but hope he is OK. He did not mention he'd be away previously, so it's an unknown at this time. Perhaps his computer went kaput? Mine went down Thursday and I had to replace it with a new one the next day. |

I forgot to record Value Buy's win. Here are the update cumulative totals. I also credited architecto25 with both a win and show on week 10 but not a place which was his actual finish. He should have also received a beat the benchmark which was not credited. If anyone notices an error on the cumulative totals let me know and I will make a correction. It is very easy to do with the spreadsheet I have set up if I know the week when the error occurred.
