She said, "huh?......Derby Cat wants us to donate to Jesus??"

An email with your order summary has been sent to.... a/k/a Westcoastinvader


Feb 20, 2010 Payment To GEVA inc. Completed ... -$xxx.00 USD


That donation is complements of loading up on the Baze-Hollendorfer chalk in the 8th at Golden Gate Fields.

(hey, it's not "redboarding" if you admit you went heavily at something at less than 2-1, right?.....I mean, who around here touts a favorite?....:-)....)
