Train barely makes any headway on day 1. Popular board pick hammered to favoritism, and then hammered some more.
That's ok because the whole point of this exercise is to see if we can turn a profit without a line.
I'll always make sure we have atleast 1 value play among our selections.

Thanks escrow. This isn't recommended other than fun. Need to get a feel for this kind of thing.I'd jump aboard if/when the train starts picking up steam.

LT1 had him on top as well. Thought he was heading south on the tote.
