A NYRA Bone to pick

Happened across Andy Serling at Aqueduct, Sunday, who was befuddled at the idea of receiving a copy of the Monster Move Method that I left for him or Donovan at customer service. Naturally, no one in customer service knows anything.
I'm sure Andy would have been interested in my selected 55-1 second place finisher in the 9th that day. Where is my book?

Movers connect for pick-three bomb at Big A

I''ve been saying it since the beginning:' It's bound to happen.' Sooner or later two monster moves would connect to provide me with a certified large pick-3 payoff. Well, folks, today was the day at the Big A. Thank you messrs. Parker and Thompson, Jerkens and Samyn.

They are the trainers and jockeys responsible for my windfall. A brilliant ride by WA Thompson in the sixth race on Edashor at 16-1 started the feast. Naturally, I had him across the board and hooked up in the double with the 9-1 Saint Daimon in the seventh for $277. But the main course was yet to come. A $1 pick three wheel--with all--yielded a $1 version of the $829 payout.–with the odds-on favorite winning by a nose. Had the place horse won, payoff was more than $2,000.

Hopefully, this is the first of money, uh, many.

Don't say I didn't tell you: Steve Asmussen continues to make mincemeat of the Fairground training colony, sending out 6 of the 9 winners on today's card. Talk about hot! Partner jock Shaun Bridgemohan is stuffing his pockets as a result.
