Guys -- Thx very much. Was a really fun day. Hope many did well!

Thought it was noteworthy that finding and employing just 2 interesting horses -- Boots Ahead and Moon Struck Nemi -- made it a lucrative afternoon. (I'll also note that being home for the day, away from the frenetic activity at the track, made playing much easier.)

Now let's get ready for another big race weekend!

Wow. Nice day top to bottom Steve. I guess I picked the wrong day off to go to Chuck E Cheese ( however, I did hit a nice 100 free ticket bonus on the Monopoly machine). I have a rare weekend yard pass, so here's to a huge weekend.

Thx. Had run as a good a race 'first turf' as anything he ran on dirt, so there was potential for improvement and any improvement put him in the mix; He was 2nd off the break; Was getting a significant rider upgrade (no matter what anyone wants to think of 'Meaux); Was dropping to an appropriate level; Had closer style in field with a lot of speed; Was going to be an attractive price; Ronny Werner pretty adept with turf sprinters (i.e. Central City, 22% W's)..

There was plenty to like. That said, I found out later last night that Warner almost scratched out of the spot!

Steve, it seems like Desormeaux has been very selective regarding his mounts thus far (or possibly he is not getting that many). Is it fair to think a horse may be live and upgrade a bit if he is named?
