Steve, just want to give you and entire DT/ATR team a monsterous thank you for this year's BC coverage. I spent several hours listening to podcasts on Wed/Thurs and caught Fri show live.

Nick Luck personally delivered Flotilla and Grandeur with his comments. He is very knowledgeable, engaging, entertaining gentleman. His interaction with Little Andy was outstanding. Andy seemed grumpy. I get annoyed after every hurricane here in Louisiana, too.

The 'Odd Couple' pairing that was fantastic was Peter Lurie and Nick Tammaro. I know Nick from past few Super Derbys and online discussions. Another knowledgeable, engaging handicapper who provides value covering NYRA, Louisiana, and, now, SoCal circuits. Peter floored me with, "Nic-kee, boo-bee" line.

Frank Mirahmadi really brought professionalism back to Oaklawn race announcing in 2012. Terry Wallace is very nice guy. Met him briefly at this year's Super Derby. However, Frank brings excitement back to race calling in Land of Opportunity.

Finally, as you urged again this year I kept plugging on both days. Squeezed small profit on Friday. Was 0 for 6 through first 6 races yesterday. Then, boom Trinniberg-Wise Dan-Fort Larned series made my weekend. Again, super coverage!

And as always, we Louisiana DTers would welcome you for Delta Jackpot, any FG weekend, or Super Derby. Vinton is only 13 days away!
