THX Max.. Would be nice to get one, but may have already worn out luck cheating death in that 4th race photo..

[Kasept]

FYI.. T-storm weather starting to roll in..

Nice job!

[Kasept]

Nice job!

Thanks a lot Max.. It's about time, honestly. Have to stick with it.

[Alabama Stakes]

FYI.. T-storm weather starting to roll in..

Unless the clouds are over the 7 furlong chute they are meaningless boss.

I'm right across from the jocks room if you want to say hello

[Alabama Stakes]

Everyone and their mother is alive in the pick 6 , so there's an unbelievably great vibe going through here even better than the usual great vibe .

Thanks Jim.. Yeah. That was screwy. And the race was goofy enough without Jack's Catapulting...

[ADJMK]

Congrats on P5. You have been knocking on door and deserve to hit. I kept trying to make a case for the Jacobsen runner but left him off my ticket

Thanks A.. That was a very deep, difficult group. Marble Falls was a big use for sheet players and 'Geroux on' an upgrade too.

[Alabama Stakes]

Tomorrow..

Behind the channel 10 set as you come out of the paddock toward the track, if you are around. I think there are guys you know around Here too.
