World Cup card not really in my wheelhouse, but with the Carnival coverage ATR has offered these last few winters with Pat Cummings and Dick Powell, it's been fun to take shots on the big morning. Will play some rolling P3's, exacta boxes and/or tri keys (.50 available) for action ahead of the big day.

Right with you Steve on Zazou. Bet him back and forth to the board in Hong Kong at 50-1 and when he took the lead in the lane thought I was going to cash. Cheap thrill as he could only hang on for 3rd but I got to give him another shot.
