Well, I can beat an Aqueduct card now and again but tomorrow's thrill will come from the weather perhaps. Rain is in the forecast but a temperature of 60 degrees is in the forecast. Look for warm mud or slop for Thursday's racing.

New Yorkers haven't seen 60 degrees since the year 2014 I believe. Up against the back fence today where shadows loom and the sun doesn't hit there were still a few inches of snow from January.

I usually become aroused for farming the back yard in mid-March but at my age out of this miserable winter and after almost 42 years of marriage only beer and horse racing arouses anything now.

Laughs get aroused too and that ain't a bad deal.
