Thanks a lot everyone. What an implausible, exhausting day. Putting together some sort of a plan to get from 12:45 to 5:15...on such a limited bankroll, just to get to the races where I actually had some opinions seemed unlikely, to say the least. I'm still not sure how it worked out, basically playing "paycheck to paycheck", the way it did. Luck I guess. But it was at least a plan. Then to get those few races with enough to at least play seemed like an accomplishment. Stars lined up and whammo! 3 hours later I'm on a flight back to Manchester, NH in stunned silence.

Thanks for the congrats.
