Year 50 Fantasy Turf Route Racing -- Scoring Thread

[Dan Kauffman]

Also, 124 points separates Glenn Escobar (11th place) from Garret Folsom (second).

Laura Smith has a 126-point lead on Garret.

Just thought that was worth a mention.

[Garret Folsom]

So you're telling me there's a chance?

[Dan Kauffman]

There’s always a chance, my man!

Updated through Week 10 Friday Europe races.

Between a heavy work load over the next three nights, and my wife battling what we believe is a kidney infection and possibly needing hospitalized (and having two kids to deal with), I may not get to additional updates quickly this weekend. Also, prayers for her health are appreciated.

[Garret Folsom]

Hope everything turns out okay for you and your wife.

While you're away, I'll do my best to figure out some unofficial updates to keep up to speed on things.

[Carole Hanson]

Dan I wish you and your family all the best in these difficult times, sending my prayers also!

[Tan Gent]

I believe everything is gonna be alright for you and your family, Dan!

[Nick Gilmore]

*lighting a candle* for your wife. I hope it all turns out well for your family.

[Laura Smith]

So sorry to hear that your wife's not well, Dan. Thinking of you and your family.

[Dan Kauffman]

So my wife is in the ER, and I'm at home with the kids. Not the ideal situation, but she's doing OK and hopefully we figure out what's going on (almost certainly kidney stones or kidney infection) and by this time tomorrow she will be feeling much better. Thanks for the prayers and well-wishes.

In any case, I had time to update through the evening races. Points were flying fast and furious tonight with lots of G1 and G2 races. The big news, to me at least, is that Sophia Stevenson and Garret Folsom are slowly closing the gap on Laura Smith! The lead is still healthy but it's double digits and not triple digits. There could still be some excitement down the stretch!

[Carole Hanson]

Worth noting that Deputy Governor turned in an absolute freak performance in his debut and I’m so glad my filly won’t have to race against him! Congrats Vincent!

[Tan Gent]

Maybe we're gonna see an antares vs deputy governor rivalry very soon

[Lily Miles March]

Sending all my prayers your way, Dan, sounds like such a stressful time, your poor wife. Hope she's feeling better by now..

[Dan Kauffman]

So I just had about two-thirds of the new entries updated when I accidentally hit the "X" on my browser. Feel my pain.

(I will get to them again later today, but right now I'm seething and don't feel like it!)

My wife is feeling a bit better, although the meds are almost as vicious as the infection.
