Three back KINKY SOX got second with open specials at Tampa. This is easier.

Long ago in the Marine Corps at one time I had the same uniform on for 16 days. An infantryman's feet are important so I would change my socks often when I had the opportunity - left to right and right to left. Weird things can happen to wet and battered feet over a period of time but young bodies in good shape heal in a hurry. Not like the one I have now pushing 70.

Only the #3 KINKY SOX can carry on my P3 while the Eight/Ten will be racing to catch me a DD.

It's late and I'm staying with the dollars out of Wednesday's budget.

My money runners go 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

If I was young again and along the rail I'd probably be thinking about fasting and sleeping in the '61 Rambler out by the Oklahoma while catching handouts and a loan for the next day's racing.

Truthfully, I did once sleep in the '61 Rambler out by the Oklahoma but I did eat, have money and was having a good time at Saratoga. I just couldn't catch a room anywhere nearby and I had consumed a beer or two. That Rambler sedan (three on the column, catchy clutch) had a bench seat that could be laid back into the front of the back seat to make a double bed.

Great movie drive in car and it could go sometimes more than 60 MPH going downhill in third while the gas pedal was on the floor. I paid $125.00 for that car and it was a sweetheart. I never crashed it and when I junked it I gave it my best hand salute as a veteran.
