Cell is 917 647 8910. Text or call me please. Would love to meet you.

We didn\'t get to see Zenyatta vs. Rachel in Hot Springs, but seeing Falling Sky win the Arkansas Derby would be the next best thing. Good luck and hope to see you get your picture took Saturday!

Indeed. Would like to also wish you the best of luck on Saturday Jim. Hope you get the cash and a derby ticket. Really enjoy your derby week cd track thoughts.

Would it be too selfish to think that if Jim makes it to the Derby with Falling Sky I\'ll lose one of my major pieces of handicapping research? I mean if Mr. Covello is riding the whirlwind that is Derby week, how can he tell me everything I need to know about how each horse looks in the mornings!?

In all seriousness, good luck to Falling Sky on Saturday! I\'d love to be able to watch the Derby and say \"I know that guy...well, virtually.\"

Jim your posts on this board  have convinced me you are credit to the sport and this community. It is with respect I pass on advice given me by sages decades ago.

When in doubt..... don\'t!

With the rest of your well wisher - I say best of luck.

Guys,

Thanks so much for the incredibly kind comments.

I really appreciate the great vibes.

If Sat goes anywhere as well as the rest of this trip, we are in good shape.

My kids had this week off from their school break so we flew to Memphis on Wesdnesday and spent the night on Beale Street with them which was amazing and yesterday we drove to Little Rock and had an awesome day here

It\'s my first time in Arkansas and I think it\'s a wonderful place. Food is awesome, people are friendly and the museums are terrific.

Thanks again so much to everyone.

Jim

Wow Jim, small world but I just noticed on Falling Sky\'s sheet that he is a brother to Marcy\'s Woods.  My in-laws have a one-horse barn on their land in central Ohio and they just adopted Marcy\'s Woods from a retirement program less than a month ago.  Good luck tomorrow (my mother-in-law will be rooting for him for sure)!
