Jocko, I'm sure your nerves are frayed to the max. Still, in spite of the race's outcome, I think you're one lucky man who experienced an incredible opportunity. And who, under pressure on a live telecast, had the grace, the class, to remember his family and his friends!!
This says far more about you than any loss.
Take care of yourself, and blessings to you and your family.

Even had my girlfriend pulling for you who isn't into sports. I explained why we had to watch the Preakness. Maybe I cursed you when I yelled "mark him up at the 1/8 pole, the guy on PA is going to win $50k." Dammit you looked real good for 1:45. I think he got a good ride, you can't let Always Dreaming control the pace.

Thanks to all of you. I will open up another thread in a while explaining all the things that went on. I hope all of you shared a great day with me because at the end of it some excitement with family and friends is all that matters.
Aloha,
Geoff

Man I was pulling for you the whole way! He looked AD in the eye and his class showed. Such an awful beat. Great experience though!

Believe or not my nerves aren't frayed. I knew I had to work through the handicapping schemes and I maintained discipline. I really thought CE was the class of the race. Because of the statistics of derby starters versus Preakness winner's I had to give the greater adjustment to those KD starters. I thought CC had the best chance of the non-KD starters at Pimlico but I felt Multiplier should have passed this race for the Belmont. That being said I would never have bet CC, never!
Sorry for the rambling. Sitting in a bar at BWI and on my way home. I will be in my recliner for the first at Santa Anita.
Talk to you all later,
Geoff

 That's a damn good attitude.
Tough beat - can't imagine a tougher one.

Let me know when you have time, I'll buy you lunch one day. I've golfed there many times but like you had back issues so haven't played in years. I still get tempted sometimes!
