I'll take you up on the putting money on our picks deal Maddy.

By the way, I realized now that I am home and have a full screen and not just my phone, that I meant to pick Sun Rising in race one. No one else picked him, so if possible, I would like to change my pick to Sun Rising instead of Streetfire.

No problem if it's too late.

I just want to say that I'm a horrible handicapper, and that I dreamt my picks finished 2, 5, 6 and 8. Apparently I thought there were 4 races in the dream, but I want this on record so I won't be so surprised when they bomb. Here's to the next battle!

P. S. Thanks Iggy for picking my filly! I didn't want to jinx her. :-)

Iggy you cant change from what you first said because the people who picked after you may have picked the horse you posted.

1, 2, 3! Whoooooo! And I made my bets back plus a tiny little extra (like $100). :)

Those are probably the best handicap picks I've ever made!

I will be tallying up tomorrow and setting up the battle. For now, I would love if each of you had the time ( WIll have to do with a challenge or something ) if you could each write a paragraph about who is the biggest and weakest threat in this game. Please use what you noticed this season.


Thanks

Mike

Mike, do you want us to post the paragraph here, or send it to you in-game?

Gigi is definitely the juggernaut of the island. She's demonstrated her creativity time and time again, whether it's writing epic songs or making up diabolical puzzles. Her creativity and quick wits make her hard to beat in battles, when she hasn't managed to avoid them entirely with her cunning and skill. She's a nice person, but I guarantee you she'll be wearing a big smile as she twists the knife that finally takes you down. She's public enemy #1 for sure.

Clinton is the weakest in this final group. His main drawback appears to be speed...in a race he'd always be one of those colts that breaks slowly out of the gate. Even so, he's got stamina, acting chops, and a great work ethic, so if this plodder is behind you, you've got to watch your back. At the moment, he's got his eye on all of ours...

Biggest threat is Madelene. She gets her work done thoroughly. This last challenge is a prime example as she got her picks in within fifteen minutes of you putting them up. She has seemed to have a target on her back from the beginning and is still solidly around.

Clinton does good work, but isn't the quickest to get things up which could really hurt him. I don't think that there is a weak player out there, but I think that he is the weakest of the strong players left.
