It is amazing you have lasted this long, you are about as cold as I am.....I am not looking at a PP until Breeder's Cup, unless Henny Hughes is 3/2 then I am jumping

You think I am joking...but these matchups are what is keeping me afloat. Only horse I have hit today in a race was August Song to place in the 3rd that paid $8.20. Rene helped me at Arlington a couple turf races yeasterday, but for the most part, Toga has kicked my ass...except for the matchups. I have only missed like 3 of those in the last few weeks

Oh, I know you aren't joking. I am letting my eyes readjust, I also think I have been putting too much stock into thorograph figures and not enough into good ole PP's

I am thinking of it as like the new formed seasons how they are somewhat mixed together because of global warming. We are suppose to have a BRUTAL winter here in Chicago because of the scorching summer so I am hoping that I am in full force for the Gulfstream meet.

And to detail my weather analogy, there is a weatherman up here that I call "Da Skill" name is Tom Skilling. Dude is just ridiculous about weather. About 3 years ago he was talking about how seasons are co-mingling with each other and it goes in this path

Hot Summer/Brutal Winter/Mild summer/Mild winter and then back to brutal summer.

Ever since he said that, I have been keen to the seasons and it couldn't be more true.

I need to show more discipline and just play a few matchups here and there because the meet itself is killing me. I need to just wait for Belmont to start back up. I have mediocre success there. Even then I hope to tred lightly until Dec 9th.

Storm N Lightning wins from the 3 hole and the 2 horse was 2nd adn SJ was 3rd, losing by 1 length and that outside post EASILY cost him more than 1 length.

I know he was tons the best there....not sure why he wasn't gunned, but being 3-4 wide cost him more than the 1 length that he lost by.

Oh well...we live to bet again tomorrow.
