I hardly ever use "all" by the way - not even in the 4th slot where I might use 10 or 11 of the 12 if one or two are so hopeless they can't even muster a 4th.

She goes up in arms about it, calls it cheating and such and such. Doesn't she know that this happens regularly on the NYRA circuit. :rolleyes:
