Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone on the board and a monster Thanks to the following official Thorograph Elite members for their presence and presents in 2017:

1. Richiebee and his annual gift in January! Hoping it happens again!
2. Shanahan and his wife's pass to their exclusive palace on the infield at Oaklawn on Arkansas Derby Day.
3. Roger's Del Mar connections to see and watch racing from the best place in the house two years in a row while watching the best non-BC contest around.
[b][i]4. Uncle Bill's stories and friendship in the backyard that are beyond any wisdom anyone else has ever shared.[/i][/b]
5. Mathcapper's quick and dirty formula for calculating almost always spot on win odds via posted double payoffs on the fly to improve my game in an instant. The other intellecutal conversations I was lucky enough to be a part of in the backyard are always worth the cost of the trip esp when Rocky is there.
6. Belmont3's kindness for a dinner at a place FrankD recommended and the opportunity to meet Bo Derek!!
7. FrankD's year long tolerance of my texts about his next great betting coup on a college football game or a Rainbow 6.
8. TGAB's seminars during the newly named "Travers Sponsored by Heineken" weekend and all the info about the TG operations I pester him about for four days.
9. Jerry's free data this upcoming week which I will use in 2 tourneys next weekend and I'll take legit shot to win them.

Thanks guys for the highlights of my year! It has been a helluva year! Enjoy the Holidays and I'm looking forward to 2018!!!

P.S. Shanahan, I'm working on Frank and Roger to make it to Arkansas one of these years .....I can lead a horse to water and I can even dunk his head in the water....but that doesn't mean he will drink!
