pretty amazing number on mineshaft. curious if it came about from the variant, ground loss, or both? bris has him going back to a 109 from a 116 in his previous race. i mention that just as a point of reference.

if the morning line holds, i'll look to toss mineshaft and look at a couple others. blinkers on for valponi has been useful in the past. evening attire moves up on anything but a fast track. i have a long-standing aversion to dollar bill, but frankel schooled me last week.

[helps if i put the subject on the subject line and not the attachment line]
