Late yesterday Jack Merola landed a spot in next month's High Roller event at Tampa Bay Downs by winning a qualifying event on Horsetourneys. Nice work, Jack! Good luck at Tampa on January 9th.

Thanks guys..,best part for me is that the track is only 60 miles from where I live..Sarasota, Florida! Pumped to kick off the year and hopefully put 2020 behind us!! Love to see a UIC companion there!  Jack Oh. Best part.. I needed a 10 year old horse to come in first or second in his final race of his career., he got a place and my closest competitor ran out of the money .. love it! |

I like the format too! w/p/s...only.You have to bet 5 of the 10 races. Regardless of where you finish in the overall contest ..you bring home what your horses pay! 5 bets of $100 each (contest money).. spread out anyway you want in each race .. no more no less. .. Sounds fun !! Top prize based on 100 participants is $20k and trip to NHC in 2021 or 2022 your choice. The have other prizes too for top 5 I think. Can’t wait! Thanks Otis! Jack |

I actually chatted with Larry days before his death.. I told him to come on down to Sarasota and go with me to the contest.., in so many words he said that it sounded great....but not a good time to travel....I texted him again.. but never heard from him again.
He will be with me this Saturday ... I know he will be watching..

Got one in on Saturday at Santa Anita. Probably low odds, missed some time and might be a play against. Prep for Dubai. Will let you know Fri night what Neil thinks.

Hope all is ok up there! Jack Doing ok up here my friend. Only one snow storm so far and temps trending above normal. Trip down to your area this winter looks doubtful with the slow rollout of vaccine. Fingers crossed for our annual Saratoga get together. Ear plugs needed for the Tampa announcer! Jim |
