Billy.. Heartiest congratulations! The free game is so tough with as many that play. Great, great work! Thank you so much for the exceedingly kind compliment. We have such a terrific group of committed, supportive players encouraging each other here and I am pleased for and proud of all the DTers filling up slots in the major tourneys. And it's only April! Plenty of time for everyone that's working toward seats to score them..

Great job by Nick and Casp. Congrats to you both.

I was fifth at Keeneland going into the last race but got passed by three people including Nick. Nick really played a great contest. He hit something right off the bat. Many would have milked that total but Nick kept taking shots. He was in position at the end to get there and had the right opinion. A very well played day.

It is always nice seeing Jack and Dan as well. The opportunity to meet and spend time with great people is really what makes contest play so much fun.

Thanks all, I appreciate it. The Grade One Gamble was a phenomenal contest because of the venue, format and atmosphere. Keeneland is so incredibly classy and it was the perfect ending to my first trip.

I planned to be as aggressive as possible with the format and doing well in the first made that possible. Somali Lemonade capped things off very nicely.

Looking forward to getting back to the NHC, even if it's 9 months away!

Nick

Vol Jack--- broke sharply, settled nicely in behind the leaders, clipped heels down the backstretch, was asked for run around the far turn with no response, was pulled up late and vanned off back to Tennessee.


Congrats to Nick and Paul on a great day.
Dan and I just hung out in the cheering section by the carving station.
