Your spelling looks about right JB, but you’d have to add 10 or more exclamation points at the end to approximate the volume of the sound I made at Kee yesterday when Thief stole the feature. His win gave Maddyfine a 3rd of 287 finish in yesterday’s contest which, in addition to cash, earned her a spot in Kee’s end of the season “Tournament of Champions” competition. Coming as it did off her 1st of 300 finish in Sat’s nhconline competition, some are saying that she should change her nickname to the circus moniker “bearded lady.”

If you recall our conversation at the Spa, you already know the identity of the “other prominent off-shore ADW unrelated to Youbet and IRG” mentioned in Ryan Conley’s B-H article about the search warrant the feds served on Youbet. In his Tbred Times article today, Frank Angst confirms what Ryan wrote, namely that what the feds are looking at are the wagering records of a number of customers of IRG, the offshore rebate shop which Youbet owns and operates. The word I’m hearing is that most of the customers in question are more than willing to drop dimes in exchange for deals, as the feds continue their typical march up the food chain. It’s impossible to predict how a scandal like this will play out, so the exercise of caution regarding the location of one’s betting bankroll might make more than a little sense given the current circumstances.
