Thanks for the kind words my friends.  Continuing your baseball analogy Don, any batter who tried to do that sort of showboating would assuredly invite a fastball up and in on his next at bat.

  And deservedly so.
 
I certainly mis-handicapped the Alabama though.  In a trifecta array, I did not think that Eskimo Kisses had the necessary fitness to win based on her Coaching Club effort, so I only played her in the second and third slots under three others.  Little did I know that Ken McPeek was only using the Coaching Club as a sort of workout, with the Alabama as the real goal.  She certainly relished the 1 1/4 mile distance, and none of the other contenders did. 
Any question as to where we should go this Saturday?
