PRECOG

The short story:

We didn't qualify in either one of the contests today - but we had EXCELLENT EXCELLENT HITS ALL DAY LONG!!!!!

Out of 860 entries in the NHC contest, Marty's group login finished 44th, Teresa finished 26th (she paid her own way and ARVed all 10 races herself), and my group login finished 4th!!!!

(Check out the NHC Leaderboard - look for TOMATH2O, StarGirl, and MARTYROSENBLATT.)

Teresa and I earned NHC Tour Points toward the $2 million bonus when one of us wins the NHC finals in January!!!!

(This will put me in about 30th place on that list, I think - I also earned points in the contest where I qualified for the NHC earlier.)

Plus, Joanie and I hit for BIG CASH MONEY thanks to her ARV winner in the last race - AT 44 (yes, fourty-four) to 1 !!!!!!

We finished well back in the BCBC contest, because the races where we hit the biggest longshots were not part of that contest.

And we did have a couple of hiccups that cost us - we will learn from that though (heh heh heh).

I will write a long email (or several emails) with all the details, including outcomes for feedback, probably tomorrow. It's been a long day ;-)

BUT IT SURE WAS A GREAT ONE!!!!!!!!!

I can't resist, here are some highlights:

• We hit the WINNER using Debra's ARV session!

• Both of Joanie's Targ CRs of 6 (!) were WINNERS - one at 44-1!

• Marty judged the WINNER on top using Mel's session!

• Loraine ARVed and judged a 7-1 WINNER!

• Lincoln ARVed and judged the highest contest total HIT!

• Sheila ARVed and we judged the place horse for contest winnings, and the horse judged 2nd was a WINNER!

• Marty ARVed and I judged a 9-1 contest WINNER, including a last-second double switch pick where I listened to guidance and won!

• Teresa cashed in 5 of the 10 contest races she ARVed and judged all on her own!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
