The Donn and Strub

The pick for the Donn at Gulfstream go with St Liam over Roses in May with Eddington picking up the pieces. In the Santa Anita Strub stakes go with Rock Hard Ten to win.

Last week Crystal and I looked at golden retriever puppies. She wanted to buy 2 of them. I am not ready for a dog yet much less for a puppy. I prefer to wait till the end of March. I do miss my dog Thor. I still feel his presence with me. I am glad that he is no longer suffering.

Both Crystal and I found comfort in the fact that on the day Thor was put down a horse was making his first start at Santa Anita named Thor's Echo. Thor's first race was not a win, but he didn't disappoint either, finishing a solid third. He was able to come back and race about 5 weeks later and won pulling away in an impressive 4 length victory. His next start may be tougher for him to win as he will be facing winners for the first time, but I look for him to win a few more races this year.

I set my own personal record a 151 calls in a day. I still hate my job, but I will always give my best. I applied for a claim processing job and an Enrollment and Billing rep. I prefer the E and B job. Will see what happens. I have now been at Anthem for 3 and a half years.

Other news in brief hit my first pic 6 at santa anita(well 5 of 6). If I had all 6 it would have been 40,000. I was close and am more determined than ever to hit a big paying pic 6. Today there is a carry over at santa anita for the pic 6 of over 350,000 so I will be playing that. For the Super Bowl my pic to win is the Patriots. I am not betting on the game. I plan to just watch and enjoy the time with family and friends.

That is all for now.
