Well I'm back. That maybe a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your point of view. I am at heart a tinkerer. So, after a week of tinkering...we'll see how things go at Aqueduct, Gulfstream and Fairgrounds. I'll post 2 selections and a third if one of the first gets scratched. Plus, maybe we'll hit a trifecta or two.
