Don, when you say "10-4", I guess that you mean after you have handicapped 10 races on Saturday's Churchill card there will only be 4 more to go.

I counted 147 horses entered for the day. That may cause me to go through several highlighters before the day is over.

We've been waiting a long while for the first Saturday in September. I'm sure it will be worth the wait [but I'm still bummed over Art Collector's injury, even though his trainer did the correct thing for him].

Might be best to handicap the Derby first so that you still have all your powers of horse race deduction and before you reach the exploding brain syndrome.

The full card is already posted to play. We can handle it so, unless we hear otherwise, we'll leave at 14 since this dosen't happen very often. Plen collects hazardous duty pay for any more that a 10 race card. Checks in the mail Plen.

Wasn't it the incomparable Ernie Banks who said, "Let's play 14?"

Well, somebody has to do it, right? Thank God there are not more than 14 races as I don't have any templates greater than 14 and I wouldn't know how to create one with more races. I'll just be sure to have plenty of vodka on hand, LOL!
