Hi Steve Happy Thanksgiving to you and family i want against all and drove down to Virgina to older brothers 84 miles from Dc looking for you best play on that Clark i will sneak into Charles town to window it , good luck and best thing not much cars or trucks on highway to and from Boston

PB.. I think Code of Honor absolutely the horse to beat. Mr Freeze/Bodexpress have the kind of races on resumes that can win here. Those are my A's.

Good luck!

Thanks you take care

Great information here Steve - your A/B ticket was sooooo close...

THX.. Had a good feel for the Clark and the result made the day worthwhile, but X-C brought back $7,956 and was very have-able. Problem is that $200+ was needed to hit it and I don't play that way or feel comfortable suggesting tickets like that to people. It hurt the play's chances not having a better handle on the Gio Ponti. Nick liked City Man and using him as an A instead of B had potential to then go deeper in the Churchill 9th. 3x4x2x3x3 a palatable $108 play.

Hope everyone did well.. Fun couple of days yet to come!
