Wayne, Thanks. BTW, what made you pick Exalted Man at Santa Anita? That was a pretty good ticket. I know you like pace and SA is a place where pace is king. Turf Paradise, too.

Wayne, The new governor's budget proposal here in TN is reported to include measures to legalize lotto in the state. The state's budget has been at a deficit for several years and it don't think they're ever going to be able to get a state income tax passed. Lotto is very passable though (86% popular support last I saw). I've been hoping horse racing becomes legal here too. I used to love and watch them run when I lived in KY. Don't see how a lotto can be approved and still argue that horse racing should not be allowed. Lotto is essentially a 50% tax on lotto revenue from what i understand. Don't think horses are anywhere near that. Shane
