Time to call it a night. I just let Bocachica on a horse who had won his last two races off at 9-1. Unforgivable. I'm tired. Too much handicapping.

I had an ofer day on Thursday, Niko. I'm a handicapper like you. I like to think that a day like that could never happen. But they do. And your wallet and your ego take a beating.

Thanks, Mich, words of encouragement much appreciated!
