Carl,
When I'm not out in some crazy orbit like I am now (trying to hit superfectas), I'm a wagercapper, too.
I hope you get the chance to watch Ted play sometime. He's as cool as the other side of the pillow. He'll take his top 4 Rx3 (or whatever) horses, demote all the others and wait on his price. I don't think his blood pressure ever gets above 100/70.
Me, on the other hand ...
