Perhaps it's the benefit of hosting the Saratoga Weekend Seminars and having the pleasure of feeding the TG crew, but Monday I was able to nail the Hall of Fame feature (TD Vance, $35, EX $200+, Tri $3000+) off the figs... Wednesday, after a busy day at the Barbecue, I literally glanced for less than a minute at the DMR 5th before coming away with a 2-3-7 exacta box which promptly paid $131 with $22 Anzari on top.

Vance's eligibility for laurels in the HOF on Monday was obvious enough, but became glaring with Motion choosing to give Kabel a 'thank you' ride and payday in a US stake (when house pilot Dominguez could have had the mount). As it was, Dominguez ended up on the place horse when Bailey got KO'd earlier in the day.
I had the rare opportunity to spend two weeks around Julian and recieve his sage counsel which has helped re-focus my wagering approach. I had to share these two successful punts with the board, as they strictly were the result of regular review of TG and the growing ability to spot likely top contenders.
Hope to meet more of you this weekend at my Carolina Barbecue. And thanks to Jerry, Bill, Julian and the attendees for already making the Seminars an instant success and fine addition to the 'action' around the 'Cue...
