Good luck!
Steve

Thanks as always for your tireless efforts and the wealth of insights you provide. Let's get the Byk Train rolling hard this glorious wagering weekend.

Can you please check your 2 day wagers, you have the #7 listed twice for the Derby bets.

Best of luck this weekend, let's cash some tickets!!:tro::$:

Good luck Steve. I have Simplification in the futures so I won’t mind if you’re right about him. I’ve been impressed by him in all of his prep races and he can definitely win if he can put it all together. If, for some reason, that 20/1 number floats up to the 35+ range, I will probably throw more money on him. I’m fascinated to see how the odds shape up.

Steve,

Thanks for all your hard work and for pointing out Desert Dawn. I'd have totally left off my ticket if it wasn't for you.

Quite welcome.. Certainly can't complain about her effort and she made the tri/super sing. Hope many benefited by using her with the obvious players.

Nice work there yesterday.

THX Jim.. Too many miscues in the horizontals, but had a very pleasing day vertically with price opinions early and late. Hope you did well and let's crush today!
