Just want to mention that I'm in Melbourne and I may go to Flemington on Saturday. It's Australia Day and it's their 2nd biggest day of the year after the Melbourne Cup in November. (It's late fall here.) Only thing holding me back is my girlfriend is not into racing and it could be a crowd of 100,000 which may be make it no fun for her. But I'm looking at a once in a lifetime shot so....
Anyway, we are on a tour of Australia and New Zealand. We'll be away until the Sunday before the Derby. I want to keep playing on Saturdays here but if I miss you will know why.

Nice handicapping Joly B and Indian Hemp!

Reminds me of a song by Brad Paisley about a guy making a choice between his wife or girlfriend and fishing. I think it was fishing that won out. Humorous song. My wife and I differed on which gambling poison we preferred. Of course mine was horses and hers was the bandits so we compromised from time to time and headed to Vegas where we both could indulge to our hearts content.

On another subject, I admire your courage in taking that long plane ride to Australia. I'm usually ready for someone to shoot me after only a four hour flight to Vegas. Of Course, I realize that the planes that make those marathon trips like to Hawaii and Australia are probably much more comfortable than flying on Southwest. Good luck, if you are able to make it to the races down under.
