Good luck!
Steve

Hope people capitalized on 3rd result thanks to great insight from Welsch & Vesce in the Clocker Report.. They made it obvious that Cyclogenesis & Battle Red were prime, that Majestico (30-1) could run and that Louisiana Brown was iffy (at certain short price).

Triple = $268 ($1)

Nice early card hits, Steve.

THX! Was a terrific weekend.. Hope everybody did well...

Let's gear up for a big final fortnight!

Congrats on a great weekend Steve. These P5s are paying great considering the prices! Must be one of the best value wagers out there.
