LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION








Well, when I flew out of Fort Lauderdale Airport on Monday morning it was 76 degrees out. When I hit the ground at Baltimore Washington International it was bone-chilling 25 degrees with a light snow falling. If I wasn't sure that I had made the right decision before, I was now convinced that I had. As I stood outside staring at the grey sky and waiting for the bus to take me to long-term parking I already missed being there!

_The decision that I'm referring to is that while I was in South Florida I found a house to rent so I can enjoy the weather and have year-round racing and two nice tracks within 25 minutes of where I will live. So, I'm back temporarily to pack up some things and head south for sunny Florida.

_As for the picks I attempted to give out over last weekend I'm sorry they didn't work out the way I had hoped. I also noticed I will have to make some adjustments in my handicapping.

_I always play from home and rely on my computer for everything from Equibase Replays to my Virtual Stable. I was a little out of my element just looking over the Form the morning of racing in between looking for a house that would accept my 100 lb Rottweiler. I am looking forward to being at the meet and I'm hoping this will improve my game and give me the chance to really get to know my local tracks. Here's a replay of The Sunshine Millions Classic a race that I did not wager on because ... I just didn't have time to handicap and was not prepared. _Not being organized and prepared sure did cost me on Sunday, while I was dealing with the realtor, I later realized that I missed Discreet Treasure who paid $20.80 taken the 8th and he was in my stable.
