Yeah I'm ecstatic. And I don't know who or what Jopa is.

I see I am a minnow in a pond with much bigger fish. Eldaafer was my only winner on Friday, $2 across the board. All multi-race tries went down in flames, then there were my 'displaced exactas' (horses 2nd and 3rd) that pay zero. Down $20 for the day.

Today, I got smart. No multi-race plays, just one lottery ticket (Pick 6) for few bucks. Bet a couple of horses across the board - Willcox Inn and Chamberlain Bridge. Up $20. I also had an exacta of Goldikova and The Usual Q. T. - if Gio Ponti had been blocked just a little while longer...., Profit down to $18. Oh, well.

How'd you feel out of the gate, when he's lefty the entire (not very short) run to the 1st turn?

$5 across the board bets on 9 horses got me by money back. It beats losing money.

I felt pretty ****ing bad right from the opening bell. Not one second did I think he was going to run big....
Sad thing is my confidence in him grew at the weekend went on, as Todds horse kept running huge.

Hit a nice little pick 4 today and a couple of small vertical wagers. Up about $500 from the two days.
