give will help!� We greatly appreciate
your support.� And -- if your schedule

Kentucky Derby Saturday May 3, 2008 |
| � |
|
 |
� |
Tomorrow is one of�my favorite
days of the year, Kentucky Derby
Day!� In a tough
handicapping race, but a great
wagering race, the "hot" horse
Big Brown�is vunerable, because
of his wide draw and the fact
that he has only had 3 races....
so I am going to "splash around"
in the exotics, (which very
often pay BIG because of the
large fields and "jillions" of
dollars in each pool) #10
Colonel John, #12 Smooth Air,
#14 Monba and #19 Gayego. I hope
we have the same success as we
had with the Star Picks in the
NFL season and the Pos. 5 during
college hoops. May all photo
finishes go your way.�
"See you in Sept." for the NFL
