I'd say that's a good start to the day at the Gulf.....

[docicu3]

3-9-4-1 in the 5TH at Gift Stream

or over $2500 for boxes on all the exotics.......I hope your having fun wherever you are.

[hoovesupsideyourhead]

good job stevo...da super..

[Kasept]

Thx Matt/Doc/Jim,

That salvaged the day.. Ran 2-3-4 three different times yesterday.. And leaving third choice winner Venomous off the FG P4 ticket cost that casher.. Late P3 at GP was a nice.

Just glancing at the SA 4th-9th today.. Hope everybody did OK.. I know Doc hit all the exotics in the GP 4th..

Heartbreaking.. Sympathies out to Michael Stidham and the folks at Golden Racing.. What a nice horse he was, and he enjoyed a terrific '06.

Son of Service Stripe, the bay gelding far outperformed his $3,500 purchase price in a career that saw him in the money 11 of 12 times before Saturday for earnings of $218,000...

RIP Bandit.. Thanks for the info Pais..
