HOF jock/trainer combo....$50wp

[LT Profits]

I bet Audible +650 on Fixed Futures. Don't buy the 8-1 Morning Line, he should be much lower.

[no1here]

The 3 has a really easy path to the front with the 1 & 2 being awful. Nobody knows if he quits or not. Likely he does but maybe not. Return and bragging rights huge. Running behind the 3 will be the 4, 7, 14/16, 17/19 in order.

[LT Profits]

I am not getting the love for the 10-My Boy Jack at 5-1.

[grease lightnin]

I put a bet in for every member of my family that didn’t turn their nose at me.

We have 8 horses straight up — 16, 17, 19, 8, 7, 5, 9, 10

Then I have a $1 tribox with 7,5,6,9,14
