I was sitting one row in front of Jack at Keeneland and got to witness first hand what an amazing day of handicapping he had. He was far and away the best in that room. The rules are the rules and it was a clear violation so they had no choice to DQ him. But, it is a real shame nonetheless.

Jack--it was great meeting you in person and spending time with you yesterday. Keep your head up and I do hope to still see you at Saratoga this summer.

Thanks Paul. You are right they had no choice. It was no ones fault but my own. The teller and I had a miscommunication. Live and learn. I look forward to trying to make it to Saratoga this Summer.

Interesting enough a background check yielded both Vol Jack and the teller are Tennessee breds. Amazing they couldn't figure what half of 6400 is.

I LOL'd.

I spoke to Jack last night. He's past the stages of shock and denial and has moved to blame. Of course, coming home up $19K in real money certainly doesn't hurt.

Hopefully they are able to get him the trip because it's well deserved even if the money is a no go.

Next time I have a winner taken down, I'll think of this episode. Congrats on the excellent handicapping.
