Good luck and have a winning day!! :D :$:

Booner, Im thinking McPeek is preeping at KD for his usual assault on KEE.

Be careful falling in love with a horse that runs big at Mtnr.

Good Luck.

I actually got to talk to McPeek yesterday for a couple of moments before a race. He answered a couple of questions I had and was really nice. And your thinking is dead on.

I really didn't fall in love with Gesundheit due to the big race at Mnr, but it didn't hurt that it was a good one. I love his pedigree and knew I would be getting favorable odds.

If it wasn't for the exacta in the last race, I really would have taken a worse beating yesterday, but overall the meet was a big success for me. Not only did I increase my bankroll, I talked and learned a ton from several people at the track. I had a really good time all 6 days. Can't wait until next year!! :D
