Just checking in and you are killing it. Nice job Rude.

Perhaps you can give me some live ones 4/1 if you're there.

Way to go Bigs. Hope you finish huge (Rudeboy too). Ruins fading fast in rear view mirror.

LOL Bruce, I'm running from the Ruins.

Now that I finally have them both in the black, I need to stop, so I don't blow it in the waning days of the meet.

Great Job this meet you two guys (Rude, Bigs) to avoid red board stains I have refrained from touting plays I have taken from you two but payed well throughout the meet. A year ago I would have thought this place was corrupt and unplayable but this year you have shown knowledge once again is power.

Thanks Doc, It's been a blast, sad to see it coming to a swift end...Time for me to switch up the gears and put the focus back on NY - I've learned more about this place this meet from Bigs than I could ever imagine - He is the Man here, no question :cool:

Final tally as I did not get a chance to 'cap today (and frankly, many of my favorite angles are no longer valid with this abbreviated late season schedule) and will be in The 'Ville for closing weekend.

All in all, an interesting experiment.

I lost $12.90 on the big (greater than $100) tickets and lost $179.70 on the small ($72 or less) tickets. So I don't think it drew any major conclusions in the bigger tickets are better in the long run argument.

It was very difficult to do this deal on line because there were many days that the ticket had to be posted early in the am (or even the day before) and could not be adjusted later for scratches or track conditions (i.e. off the turf). This has given me a greater appreciation for what Steve and Matt do, and do so well, here on a regular basis. There were many days that I went to the track and after taking in the scratches and watching a few races, my P4 ticket would bear very little resemblance to the tickets posted on Derby Trail. Because of that, my actual accounting of P4 plays is quite different than the cyber P4 plays. So, I am not sure how much we accomplished with this experiment.

I hope a few were able to benefit from our picks this year. Congrats to Rudeboyelvis on having an awesome meet. See you all next December.

Great work fellas! Sounds like everyone involved had a real good meet.

Personally I think I did learn most about Tampa from my fieldtrip there... After the debacle AQU Inner was this winter, I think I will definitely follow Tampa next season.
