Great Score, Like you say on the radio, sometimes you just have to keep on pitching. Well done.

Way to end 2013, with a nice looking ticket.

I would be remiss if I didn't "thank you" for all of your time and insight during the year. It is this info that has made me a better handicapper.

All the best in 2014!

EPB..

Thank you.. That's the ultimate compliment for me and what I try to provide with DT & ATR and on the racing side with Dee Tee as well. It frequently feels like a small raft in a sea of negative hatemongers, so it means a lot to know whatever we're trying to do finds some success with those that want to enjoy the game.

Best wishes for a great '14!

Thanks again all.. An incredibly satisfying result with the benefit of 48 hours to sink in.

Thumbs up

Great Play!

I watched the last 3 AQU races on TVG (their "talent" couldn't "see" playing the five in the last race...Shocking), and studied your tickets for the P4 and P6. I brought my 9 year old son into the den to help root home the 5 in the last. Absolutely Fantastic!

Have a Happy New Year!
