Well, I finally achieved a very elusive item on my "bucket list" -- last night I qualified for the 2012 Horseplayer World Series at the Orleans in Las Vegas.

What would be the point if I couldn't share this news with all my friends at PaceAdvantage, my second home. I can honestly say that my handicapping has gone up a notch thanks to the many knowledgeable members here at PA.

On an 8 race card at ASD I scored as follows:

R2 - $11.60/$4.90
R4 - $14.30/$5.20
R6 - $28.00/$11.40
R7 - $0.00/$3.60

Total = $79.00

So, it's Viva Las Vegas baby! Can't wait for the experience!

When you get to Vegas, stroll in the Orleans and tell the big-uns to line up and the little-uns to bunch up 'cause you're about to strap some hurt on 'em.

Great job!!

It is a good feeling to qualify your way in rather than pay into that one.

Use that confidence to take a win!!
