Good luck!
Steve

Got to get Blu on the show tomorrow if he has finished counting his money. Course he runs over my money on Mewannarose

Blu usually holds court at the Saratoga racino. Quite a character and when Steve has him on the show it's always a classic.

Next week.. Too much going on down here with Haskell, etc.

$133,461 DBL P6 C/O FRIDAY

Looked impossible and played out that way.. Glad I steered clear. $17.40, $47.80, $27.00, $26.80, $14.80, $7.30.
