Great to see you off to a fast start at the Spa, hope you keep it rolling.

Congrats, and thanks as always.

Phil/Larry,

Thanks very much! Was generally a good day and certainly had potential to be outstanding with the inclusion of the Asmussen colt. Had the right idea with the all button in the nightcap. Hope everyone did well! Looking forward to Sunday for all the obvious reasons...

The sad thing is if you had seen the toteboard action on the Assman colt you probably have it given that he went off at 5/2 from a 6/1 ML- generally NYRA does a good job positioning races with firsters outside of blind spots in multi-race wagers, however they really didn't have a choice here with the other races on the card, unlike California which invariably puts a maiden race last every day.

It's funny you say that Phil.. I am not the biggest tote action follower out there, but when Joe Vann opened at 4-1 and more or less remained there, I knew I was a chicken in a pot.
