Good morning all ... Have seen this morning that in a few of the online racing trade journals that the lead story is yet another gem of a decision from the gift we NY\'ers rec\'d from Client 9, namely Gov Patterson. Turns out he is giving a casino operation to a band of Wisconsin Mohicans in return for them giving up their land claims in central NY. Cant help but think that Genting is getting screwed here. Arent lame duck politicians supposed to be kept \"under wraps\"?? Also re DEAD RAIL, need to thank Andy Serling for his opinion on Talking Horses that morning for saying dead rail or not he was all over Big Drama. That exacta enabled me to take some big swings (and misses) on the afternoon and really folks can you ask for more than that??? Happy Thanksgiving posters and may all the joys of the season be within your reach ... Cheers !!
