Ground out a couple hundred dollar profit today, one winner and two dirty, dirty photo-loss place finishes. Fortunately we paid $5.30 and 9.30 in the middle.

In the irony of ironies, Stunning Sky (an old playback) nailed new playback 14-1 Princess Grace at the wire at Keeneland. Of course I was married to Stunning Sky in the Saratoga Contest this summer, in a double that likely would have been good enough cash, if not win one of the weekly contests early in the meet – and that day it was Stunning Sky who got beat a nose.

At any rate, I paid a few bills with the tickets today, and its showing the benefits of cleaning up my play back list. I’m looking to really step up my base wagers when the time is right – just trying to get to a point where I’m able to play a bit more day to day than I have the past couple of weeks. The black book probably has about 100 plays waiting to be had, and today was just evidence that it can be done. Six possible plays tomorrow. Let’s cash them !
