I just put the year in there to help me get used to writing it. I already had to void a check written out for the rent as I had indicated the wrong year.

Anyway, the first at the Big A isn't inspiring, especially since i can't get past the favorite, number 6. Besides, I want to see what the sudden decrease in temp may do to the surface. It's 20 degrees colder now than it was 24 hours ago.

TP, R1, #2, Candy G.

Would've preferred that she was not stretching out but the price is right.

Oops, I meant to bet #1 in the second race. Hehe. I'm taking the money anyway. Hey, maybe I'm on to something -- bet your horse # one race before the actual event. LOL

I know the feeling. I've got a shipper stretching out in the third at Aqueduct - the 4 horse. But the price is right, and there appears to be minimal speed in the race.

Interesting. I see lots of speed in the race. #6 and #4 both have six Quirin speed points and run Early. #5 isn't far behind with five points and also runs early.

#4 should have the lead at 4F, but can he keep going? Dunno.

Only a six horse field, but I'll be darned if I can find the winner.

My RDSS read has only the 6 as another up fronter, and projects the 4 to be ahead at the 6F marker.

I was going to go out there today, the free calendar being an extra inducement, but I find the card to be lackluster, even for a January and the temp drop didn't encourage me either.

EDITED TO ADD
Once I saw my horse do a 23.5 second quarter, I knew I was finished. Race went to my number 2 in LP and TT again, just as in the first.
