Default What I am thankful for

Top 10

10: My health, which at 28 years old, has been taken advantage of way too long.
9: Alan Garcia
8: Thorograph - without you I would still be blowing c-notes on 4/5's that had no shot
7: English Channel retiring
6: People within the business or industry that have opened up their noggins and let me in to gain as much knowledge as possible (Andy and Chuck to name a few)
5: Friends I have met via DT that I will be friends with for a lifetime. It is unbelievable that in such a harsh and cruel world there are so many bomb ass people on here (except GPK, he is minorly bomb)
4: Steve Byk - a man that I owe many and continous thanks for teaching me, including me, and pushing me forward, as a handicapper and more importantly a person
3: Arlington Park and the Chicago crew(Dell, Barney, Bob,): The greatest guys that I have ever been associated with and gained friendships with
2: My father, while sometimes extremely harsh, for being the best dad there could be, especially given the circumstances he grew up in
1: The people that I have in my life that keep me from doing real stupid things, and the ones that bail me out because of something stupid.

It's been quite a year; finally got an "upgrade" at my place of employment, became a horse owner with Dee Tee Stables, had my best wagering year "money wise" between the Kentucky Derby and Breeder's Cup day, my stepson finally got married and bought a decent car to get me around. On the downside; my dad's illness and all that money won seemingly disappear quite quickly. But, Dad is doing well with his cancer treatments and if the catscan comes back clean on Dec.3th, his treatments may be over and the cancer gone! Just thankful for all the good things in life; family, friends and the sport of thoroughbred racing as my favorite entertainment. And last but not least; this website and all the things that the "birthday boy" Steve Byk has done!

I have been blessed with a truly understanding wife who loves me unconditionally and a healthy, beautiful 4 year old daughter who adores me!!

I also never forget those who are less fortunate than my family and me. Even when things get rough in my life, I remember that there are others who have it much, much worse than I do. Let's not forget those people who need our help during this holiday season.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

I would just like to say THANKS to ALL the Men & Woman in our Armed Services, who are away from home & keeping us safe. If we agree or disagree with this thing going on, THEY are the ones putting their bodies at risk 24/7 . God Bless the USA !
