A reminder, the NTRA handicapping contest is being shown at 5:00 Eastern today.

Just got back from watching the show, and I could have sworn I saw a shot of Mall losing his cool. Nah-- not possible.

And I suppose you didn\'t see the shot of Chris near the end staring intently at his computer. Crist\'s complimentary blurb today was more generous than I imagined. His outfit sponsors the contest & they can\'t find one person reading, carrying, or even sitting on a racing form, while someone else\'s product gets what appeared to be a series of almost fawning close-ups. Hmm.

P.S. Did you happen to notice the enthusiastic black guy they showed a couple of times near the beginning? Wink\'s great grandson. He introduced himself when he saw my wife reading the book, & he doesn\'t live but 10 miles or so away, but the story of how we crushed the supersized superfecta at FG is one that is going to having to wait....until it actually happens.

mall,
seriously, did any of you guys get on the telecast? i was watching the daytona, and every time i switched over to espn there was a commercial (half of that show must have been damn commercials). i caught the end though. that must have been a lot of fun.
