I'm glad you did so well. What's the matter, you can't dig up your own $1,700? What's the lackey cut? I'm spending way too much time on this. I have responsibilities.

You know I would never listen to the seminar before the race. I'm not one of these 'pick me a winner' types. I'm not one of these 'who do you like Jerry?' weiners calling in on Derby week. I've been there. I dig my own graves. If I won that way I'd have to tear up the ticket.

I didn't use HH, CHome or J either. I didn't like WEmb, PCitizen or M'D. The winner took a big jump to pair the 1's and I didn't like it. To hell with this sheet crap. I transcend these numbers with my own special gifts. You've got your nerve playing those horses. Luck! That's all. Who are you kidding with that Proud Citizen? Probably somebody's birthday and a shoe size.

I liked two horses, Saarland and Perfect Drift. I used a few others. My bankroll is still phat, don't worry. But still, in the Big Race, my ass was in the wind. I played most of my money on PDrift to win and in exs and a little tri. I'm so dumb I'd do it again! If I knew you would rack $50K ahead of time I'd still do it again. I'll show you a syndicate. I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' SYNDICATE! I'm much bigger than that. --HP
