[Reno Paul]

Probably gonna wager smaller than normal on this race. This looks like a crapshoot to me..........

[The General]

I'm leaning to staying away also. I may try a small shot on the 24/88, maybe 18 & 20. JJ should be there, can he win another? Weird looking top 10 starting eh?

Let's enjoy Reno, feet up and chips in hand.
