Good luck tomorrow guys.
Tomorrow is border line impossible. Kudos to whoever picked the races because it will take some serious handicapping to get through it. ANYONE has a shot tomorrow.

It was an exciting opening day to the NHC.

My first optional play was Marky P at Tampa in the 4th and he got up at 13-1 to kick things off. I followed that up with a 2nd place finish in the 1st mandatory at GP. My only other winner on the day was It's Never To Late at GP in the feature who went wire to wire under E.T. Baird. A handful of 2nd place finishes at good numbers helped me work my way up the leader board.

Bob is a terrific guy as is Paul Weizer, so it's safe to say DT is represented with great people. There's still hope for a DT trifecta.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Using Ernie Mello as an optional play....cajones. Nice pick Nick.

Using the 7th at Tampa is easily the best race on the card. RBE already PM'd me trying to decipher it. Some big M/L horses with a big shot.

GL today DT Boys.

At least I'm eating well..Eggs over easy and hash brown breakfast, slice of pizza for lunch at the table and knocked back a bone in rib eye for dinner...Hope they hand out Crestor instead of racing forms today

A lot of wide open, big field races...which is a good thing. Should be fun.
