Merciless, I admire that.
Almost as much as attacking the two worst favorites of the year
and getting it ALMOST PERFECT. Meantime, with my tight hips, I KNOW
Lava Man can't possibly win and don't spread like your clients, and
yesterday I KNOW Octave will be in the second slot, and I can't buy
your assurance that the bounce on dirt is good. And I thought I was too
old to learn. I used to see "imperfection" in the comments and knew I knew
more precisely, and was always too "controlling" to see the profit under that.
I have always been a life and death player, way too amped to back off and see LEVERAGE would be a nicer way to live. I promised myself I wouldn't become a groupie here,but I just have to say one time, clearly, how much I admire what
you have done in this, my life's first love, this GAME. In this era, event
driven as it has become, and with such global scope, I can't see a way
around not only giving you these props in public, which will mean more
to you in the year to come, and get off my HIGH horse, and accept what
the gods have finally decided I deserve after all these year, a great
consult.
Thank you,

I will be back in earnest for innercourse, as it used to be 80% of my yearly action, and 90% of the good ink. Since, as Richie stated, there are only about
3 minds to read, and one path that you want, I have always considered it a grail quest. OF COURSE(S), it allowed the most expression for my MUST WIN THIS ONE attitude. I would expect a little different kind of winter coming up. Maybe even enjoy SA for a change, Latent Heat and Kip Deville were a nice start last year, but the play of that year was Bishop Court Hill/Santana Strings just before the gods decided we should break.
This is a gracious as I know how to be professionally.
