[Bogey]

Happy New Year's Day

Let's hope the start of 2012 is better than the way it finished from a wagering standpoint. A nose in the Mr. Prospector by Apriority and another one in the finale at Gulfstream derailed what could of produced a Pick 5 payout in the $10k range for $.50. No time to look back as the first card of the year has ample opportunities to start the year off the right way. Happy and healthy New Year to all.
