TGJB that promise alone is enough to tempt me out of retirement.
We only lasted three Derby's but they were not only fun, but so far ahead of the curve it was scary. Eclipse quality writers like Jennie Rees were guests, Blue-Chip handicappers such as Marty McGee and Dave Litfin, World Class Trainers like D Wayne Lukas and Paul McGee. We introduced Thorograph at a point in time where most SHEET users outside of New York and LA were considered lepers. After going thru an explanation of how ground loss is calculated, weight carried differentials factored in and wind into the numbers, I ran into a good friend the very next day who said, "I always knew those Beyers were wrong". No Joke.
After two $600 Triples the first year (Early Times and Derby) a "I guarantee it on Silver Charm" and that Triple "Cold" our luck ran out but then again maybe not. The next year is when I met Thorograph and Wayne. I had to get up at 4:30 AM for a week to lock him up. You TGJB I promised booze and starlets, you still wouldn't come on. It was that stress thing. You sent TGAB instead and he picked Cape Town, I sure he didn't bet Victory Gallop at 10-1(lol). He shouldn't have been concerned the only two listeners were my Mom and Dad and when they left town we had to cancel the show because we lost 100% of our listening audience.
This is really a fun time of year. There are some smart guys on this Board. Pedigree experts, trip experts, angle-guys, figure guys. I'm sure by the first Saturday in May we will have it all broken down quite well. I know last year we did.
My radio days are over and because I will be so busy I won't able to participate as much if at all during the day. The next time you will see or here from me or my Boss, is over the airwaves on CNBC or something similar.
I think my horse this year is Consolidator, if you know what I mean.
