Well, we have the overnight in but it\'s going to take some time to prepare. Mid to late Thursday afternoon is a more realistic estimate of when the card will be available. That should leave enough time to scrutinize the card for the Saturday morning to early afternoon (edt) races.

Is it part of the \"March Madness\" or will it be a special?

Dubai will not be a special, it will be handled as another track for pricing.

We are going to extend the lower caps through April, maybe with some minor tweaking. Response has been very strong-- it has been fascinating to look at the buying patterns, not what they would have been 10 years ago. And totally different than 15 years ago, when there were far fewer sheet players, and people were playing mostly the track they were going to, not playing on-line or by phone, watching on TV.

Cant hear or see \"-ish\" without thinking of Steve Coogan in \"The Trip\". Search
for \"We Rise at Daybreak\" and laugh for a few seconds.

Funniest movie I ever saw in the category of \"Movies where you don\'t understand 50% of what they are saying.\"  Next time, subtitles.

Great job guys...Every sheet has at least a couple of numbers on them, not too many boxes this year..Really great job!!

Also, that Zip functionality when you buy all the cards for the day is awesome..

Hey Rich,

Using the Trakus ground (27feet dif = about 3 lengths) and working from SN#\'s fig I get Zahee running a 5.25. Using TG\'s ground (5 wide dif) I get Zahee running a 6.25.

Average the two and we get 5.75, which is what TG shows. So if it is off, don\'t think it\'s by enough to make huge difference.

Speaking of SN#, what\'s your feeling on him? Does he bounce off or not? Kind of the key to the race imo. Has been bet down in euro markets after big time positive report on him from Bin Suroor.

Phil

I am playing him to bounce, especially at the odds he\'ll go off at.
