As Robfla can testify, I already came out of temporary retirement once for the Summit of Speed card. But that was ONLY because I live so close to Calder. Other than that, I have been true to my word....

...except for that really big carryover at Hollywood.

So, other than the carryover, the Summit of Speed, and the Laurel meet, I will have been true to my word.

Oh, I also played horses for about 20 minutes between poker tournaments at Gulfstream Park on Sunday. But that doesn't really count.

You call it retirement Justin. I call it sabbatical. I've been on "sabbatical since the day after the Belmont Stakes, except for one Saturday where I stumbled across an easy-bet location for about a half hour and I also chased a Pick-6 carryover at Belmont a few weeks ago. The sabbatical is over on Wednesday, July 25th at 1:00 P.M. when Tom Durkin says with the Spa crowd.."And they're off at Saratoga!!"
