Just getting into that ballroom is a significant feat, one that separates you from 99.99% of fellow horseplayers. Congrats on getting there, now you know firsthand what it takes to hoist that check at the end.

Definitely....there were so many races to look at and my lack of experience with contest play fueled the feeling of being overwhelmed. Friday I felt short of breath all afternoon, but I was at a table with a great group of guys and one fellow Houston resident. There was excitement at catching a couple of place horses that paid well that got nosed out at the wire. Lots of fun..I got to meet Pointman, JMS, and of course Steve. I did not see NTamm until late Sunday and he looked busy..maybe next time Nick.
Jim...thanks for the advice..i'll get it down to three
hope everyone made/makes it home okay, spent 12 hours in airports/planes yesterday to get back to 70 degree Houston due to a canceled 3 hr flight...only neg on this trip
