" it was a good first week at the windows with a +$320 bankroll on just 8 wagers. Hopefully by next season, through the fast-moving miracles of technology"
"and making last second decisions and changes to the selections is the difference between prodit and loss. Monday, Just in Fun was our second choice in the 1st"
Thank you for these statements. Many of the posters know this type of behavior instinctively but I believe there are many that have not reached this level of sophistication.

In another thread a new poster wants an idea about how to bet the Sunday Monmouth Card. I think there are many others that look for this help and hesitate to ask and therefore we have to be careful when we suggest horses to consider. For them to know that all your suggestions led to 8 wagers and that some were changed for a variety of reasons is valuable info. Doing this I realize as you suggest missing a healthy payoff but over the longer period I would suggest we save money.

Happy your return was a positive one. That in itself makes you a worthy mentor!!!
