Thanks everyone, just got the kids to bed. This is still sinking in. All weekend long I was thinking if one of these tracks could carry til Sunday I'll just hit it then. Never really thought it could happen. Probably wouldn't have played Gulfstream at all, but my Aquaduct ticket went down in the first race and I wanted to keep the dream alive. then all of a sudden I couldn't do anything wrong. I thought I was going to have to change my handle to hi i'm god . None of my pics finished worse than fourth, and in that race I hit the exacta for 288.00 When H. McCauley won the last by 4 1/2 I knew it was my day. I don't know who said it but it's true: I'd rather be lucky than good.
Thanks to everyone for their insight on DT.

Without waxing poetic or getting too sappy, I would invest the entire 21,000 after taxes in Byk stock if I could. Thanks Steve!

I guess this is as good a time as any to give it the ultimate mush and admit today is my birthday too.
Massive balls posting this before the deal was done. No way I do that, but you pulled it off.

Congrats herk and Happy Birthday.

VERY impressive handicapping. In the races you used 2 or 3 horses you pretty much ran 1-2, or 1-2-3, or close to that, with the better priced horse winning.

GREAT job!
