Kudos to 82-year-old Eldon Spearman on his win with Boy Meets Grill last night. With 47-year-old Bobby "the kid" Eidens finsihing 2nd and 64-year-old Ben Miller 3rd, the trifecta (193 years combined age) smashed the old track record of Don McKirgan, Charlie Wyers and Keith Kash from a couple years back (168 years).

Pick 5 carryover is over $3K tonight foir the special Tuesday card. Gotta take a shot at it, but its a toughie. No obvious singels, imo, although I may single Outoftheordinary in the 6th just to keep the ticket affordable. Probably end up going 39/169/2789/(4)5/149, but if I use two horses in the 6th, I am in for $144, which is a bit rich for me. Maybe I can cash something in the double and shore up the bankroll, but with my youngest graduating HS last night and heading for college in the fall, that money may go to tuition instead.

T-storms in the area tonight--picks will probably be in from the palatial Dave Bianconi studios. Be flexible and watch for chancging conditions in order to succed at the windows tonight.
