Exacta Bob has the quote of the week so far. After he hit a nice exacta with a bomb in 2nd, we asked what he saw in the horse...

"The horse looked so bad I had to use him underneath."

First Fontana wins 2 today and now Wasulik wins the finale at 55-1.

That now makes those trainers a COMBINED 7 for 205 for the meet.

Helluva way to end my final day at the Downs.

Beware the "Nervous Eye" angle.

Just an absolute perfect ending to the past few days. Lots of laughs at dinner with Bigs, Rude and their two lovely wives. Great times with even greater friends. Flight home to the Star City departs around @ 2:20 tomm afternoon.

A fantastic few days has come to an end. Boarding the flight home in shortly over an hour.


I can't say enough wonderful things about Bigs and his wife. The ultimate hosts were incredibly kind in opening up their home to me. I'd be very hard pressed to find a nicer couple anywhere. Happy to call them friends.

"Sabrina", if your reading this, I have only 2 words for you:

HVGeeeeee

This is Sir Swervalot...over and out.

Get your snowsuit on, it's freezing in Richmond and I'm sure it's not much warmer there!
