Obsolutely terrible performance. Total 22 Starts, 4 firsts, 5 seconds, and 2 thirds. $44 bet, and $17.60 returned (-60% ROI).

Not many plays today, which could be a good thing after yesterday's performance.

Hi que. How's things. Do you still play Texas at Night from the warroom?

[Que]

Hi Suff,

I haven't had much time to play the races lately--not even at Lone Star. I was hoping a public trial of a black box system that I've been tinkering around with my jump start me--but, the results to date haven't been too encouraging. I'll give it a few more chances, hopefuuly it will at least regress to the mean (i.e. -20% ROI). Hope you have a great time at the upcoming Saratoga meet. Regards,

Que

[Que]

I must be getting desparate, I even had the black box handicap Finger Lakes.

[Que]

I'll give the 'old' black box a few more days to prove itself--with a good day I can equal the track take--now isn't that a lot to look forward to.

[Que]

Decided to give the black box a total of 100 picks; but there's not much chance of climbing into the black, since most of its picks are low odds horses.

[Que]

Posted a profit today, but just barely, despite six wins--just too many low priced horses. I think another approach is defintely in order. Totals to date: 91 starts, 26 wins, 14 seconds, 12 thirds; $182 bet to win & $131.90 returned, -28% ROI.

[Que]
