I think I am like a lot of people in that I want to read about the sport I love.

Most interesting (to me) are the human interest posts. Fairmont1 last is a great post. It reads like a story. Cannot get enough.

I hesitated to give an update on my contest status because I consciously try to avoid writing about myself. The ex's "Self-centered jerk" criticism hit hard because it is of course true. I hope not the jerk part.

With that out of the way I am pleased to say I moved up 27 spots, from 80th to 53rd. Better still is the money gap went from $198 behind to $155.

There were two races this week and thankfully I posted choices in each. I got the best result when the TAP/Irad colt won the Hutchinson, but got blanked when the Gaines filly ran third in the Irish O'Brien.

Thanks for the up vote Joe. I need all the friends I can get.
