Default ROI Results 1/28 @ Gulfstream

Pegasus had wings and he could fly to the finish line. Our group soared like the WKRP
turkeys (season 1, episode 7). Need I say more other than to age myself further. The
highlights of the Pegasus card were Cruzan coming close and Zippy hitting an exacta
which I thought was a little on the light side. As Cal pointed out we are not really setting
the bar very high this season so far. Hopefully the best is yet to come. Following are
the unofficial results pending the "Official" sign. Better luck next week wherever we wind
up. And in my best Car 54 voice......"Eclipse where are you?"


Cruzan -$2.50 R4. # 7 $25 Win $7.80 X 12.5... $97.50

Zippy -$35.00 R7 $2exbx 2-5-7-10... $65.00

DonGuido -$96.00

Cal828 -$96.00

Real Quiet -$100.00

Indian Hemp -$100.00

NJ Stinks -$100.00

Ruffian -$100.00

Digger -$100.00

Joly B -$100.00

Another tough day at the office.

The Pegasus card, especially those last 2 races, was pretty tough so maybe we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves. On a more positive note, should the points winner, decide to return to the scene of the crime, so to speak, the Gulfstream card for this Saturday doesn't seem nearly as difficult. Famous last words, possibly.

Don't know what happened to Eclipse. I think she said something about selling her house. Maybe she's been busy finding a new one. I thought about enticing her back by offering some pointers on how to play, but lately I probably need someone to give me some of the same. Hope she wasn't embarrassed by her play. No need to be. This is a game that takes eons to learn to play and even then, as we all well know, it can be humbling. Hope she returns. Also, where is Roamin? Am I the only one who doesn't know? Hope he is ok.

Since the feature at GP this Saturday is the Holy Bull, and there are a number of other graded stakes with decent sized fields, there is a reasonably good chance that we would not have to check out of our hotels but remain in sunny South Florida. (Given the cold snap headed my way, I'm all for warmth.) That will give us an opportunity to test your theory. Usually when I say that about a race card, I'm headed for the ATM by about the 6th race.

I agree with you Joly on that warmth thing as Hot Springs is not so hot today. Actually we’re in the middle of an ice storm which doesn’t seem as bad as I thought it might be, but might get worse later on as the sleet tends to freeze overnight making roads more treacherous the following day than when it originally fell. Sorry for anyone that has to be out in it, but happy that I don’t have to be. I will be cozily in my little house enjoying a copy of John Grisham’s latest novel.
