After a re-read will reluctantly give you credit for the cash. Many of us here didn\'t need a clocker friend to steer us in the right direction.
I think you cashed in the neighborhood of 35-1, though Jerry may tell you otherwise.
I had 69-1 on the perfecta with a substantially smaller investment.
Congrats, but we all definitely want you and Dpatent in the pools next time. Don\'t forget to come back now, ya hear?
