Typically we play Laurel Park and the Maryland Millions races this time of year. Without objection, (taken from Jan 6 Hearings) that would be my proposal. Any thoughs or "objections"? If so, send them to my Attorneys, Dewey Cheatem and Howe . . . reddit to the great Three Stooges.

The only objection I have is the difficulty in finding pps for some of these venues that we don't often play, but I may have to start purchasing them from Brisnet instead of using the free ones. I have new found riches now from AT&T. Found out that they have a substantial discount for military and ex-military. Kind of a nightmare dealing with AT&T, but maybe some good will come of it, if they actually follow through as promised.

I live in a deeply red state so I may be the only one in the whole state that actually watched the hearings. Merrick Garland is probably wondering about now " why is it, I thought I needed this job?"

My sympathy for all that red around you, Texas is bloody red also but I just ignore them (not completely) when needed. I use Brisnet "Premim Past Performances" $1 each, even on our very tight budget, I can afford that. Sometimes I play just using DRF Entries. I believe in the KISS priciple so these serve me well.

That principle has certainly served you well this year. Yours is quite an impressive performances.

How did RQ put it, I would need a dollar and a prayer or something like that. I think I would have to spend that dollar on winning the lottery to come anywhere near your total, but maybe that's what he meant?

Yes, I'm having an unusually good year in both contests which is not the norm. I rarely do this well on my wagers but am pretty consitent to be at the top or near the top in the Points Contest. I must have found a lucky horse shoe and have a four leaf clover in my pocket I'm unaware of.

I rarely do well at the track, Lone Star Park is our home track. We take $50 to start and see if we can make it last through 4-5 races, sometimes yes, most often no. Nice failities but the horses are not of the highest tier. Asmussen used to run a lot of his horeses here before he became "Big Time" . . . havent seen him around much anymore.

I once had an opportunity to go to Lonestar Park, but turned down. I had to take my father-in-law to Dallas to see his lawyers. He was employed by a company that made aluminum here in Arkansas. Somehow as part of the manufacturing process he was exposed to asbestos therefore he had a claim against his former employer. I was elected to take him because he was afraid of driving in Dallas. Actually, he was afraid of driving in Little Rock which is probably only a tenth as big as Dallas.

As for Asmussen, he seems to go for the Stakes races nowadays and seems to have an entry or two for stakes offered at a lot of the smaller tracks like Zia and Sunland and others.

Cal828, its a bit of a job but you can get PP's free. 1st, get the race, then get any trainer or sire that hooks on any horse, it will show full pp for that race and then do the same for the next race and "WALLA" free pp's.

Right, and for most of the bigger venues like the New York tracks or Santa Anita, Churchill, etc. you can find the pps, but Laurel is a bit more difficult. I found all of them this week except for Races 2,4 and 5. Might look over the trainers again and see if I can spot one that has a horse in one of those races. That website with the pps seems to add more trainers from time to time and I might have just missed one that has recently been added.
