just got off the blower with my trusted amigo/capping buddy.
we've had major disagreements over the years that have cost us cash & long periods of no speaky to each other.
biggest was '09 ... he loved MTB, but thought my Musket Man was a nag - much to his credit, he cashed nicely on the exacta, but the omission of Musket Man cost him the suitcase haul, as did my omission of MTB.
we re-teamed for '11, and, to his credit, he put me on AK (Animal Kingdom).
he ignored me on Orb in '13.
since then we've had decent success in the TC - no complaints about the results when we do put our noggins together.
we spoke last week briefly, and i thumbnailed my thoughts to him, was too quick to get into anything deep.
so ... no surprise that he is seeing this differently than me - he doesn't believe in the top end speed here, and he's playing for a meltdown.
his $2 super ticket (pending weather):
9,10/9,10/1,14,18/1,14,18
$72
and so it begins.
