SC...Michael D,

Thanks for the encouraging words. I know we are going to try like hell to do our best. Spent over 10 hours of "capping" to get to this point. The biggest difference here is that the 20-1 shot we are all looking for HAS to WIN or PLACE, can't be in the money with the logical horses et al. Since its a two day contest, you need to get into position day 1. To all, thanks for the positive words. Many of you could also be here, if you had the interest. It really is a lot of fun to participate against many of the best in the business, the Gallo's , The wolfsons, the wagners, TGJB, Ken Massa from HTR, Ken Rippey of Newark star Ledger (and Last years winner). It's good clean fun, provided that the Santa Anita stewards, don't try to influence the outcome, like they did on Wednesday.

Talked with Jerry tonight, and its going to be a lot of fun...
