Anybody got a final figure for her?
I'm curious to see how it stacks up vs. mine.

Congrats to everyone involved, seems to be a great ride.

In hindsight, I should have bought a few shares instead of a freaking house....

Thanks Steve for a ""eye witness"" report on ""Our"" girl !!!

A side note from Sunday, Im sitting @ the new Vineland OTB , waiting for the race to go off, [ of course had $$$ interest also... ].... and as the race started, and as they made there way to the turn. a Woman sitting @ the bar.. starts yelling.... "" Come on with that 1 Willie""... , and keeps yelling ""come on with that one..""... into the stretch.. shes louder, louder.. till the race ended. So after the race I walked over to her and asked if she knew the horse and she said.... "" Ohhh I loved the colors of the silks"" !

Thanks Steve, as always, well written and capturing the energy of the moment. Hopefully I'll get to see this gorgeous girl in person soon. Please pass on a big thanks to the Simon barn, they've done an awesome job.
