Betting all $1 exacta boxes and some pick 3's Race 1: 4,5,7 Race 2: No opinion, there Andy are you proud of me… Race 3: 2,5,7 Race 4: 3,6,8 Race 5: 2,5,6 Race 6: 1,2 Race 7: 1,3,10 Race 8: 4,7,11 Race 9: 2,3 Race 10: 3,4,6 Spyder..heading to Churchill to play the ponies

THX! Thrilled you caught it.. That horse was the 'Magic Troika' for me.. Dropping down; Cutting back; Turf to Dirt.. I absolutely ALWAYS leap when I see those three grouped together. The David Jacobson unit is really swinging for the fences as well... I'll leave it to the elder statesman DTers to tell the wild story of his dad, Buddy Jacobson, who was a highly gifted horseman.

Thank you.. Was very pleased with the results on a tricky afternoon.. The P3's tying the Top 2 were very nice... Hope everyone did well...
