I'm doing OK. I'm happy with my progress so far. When I started using the Match-up almost 3 months ago, I began with a 7 or 8 race losing streak, but then I started winning some races, which was encouraging. Since then I'm doing better than breakeven. Not enough to retire, but enough to convince me that this is something to keep working on. And I frequently find myself saying "this stuff really works!"

...As a matter of fact in that race you mentioned, I really liked the #6 Fluke to possibly take the race right up on the front end, however, I also liked the #1 Baletti to come up and get him late in case he faultered even a bit. As it turned out this was a good call as #1 Baletti came on late and caught him by nearly a length at the wire and they finished 1-2 for a nice $2 Exacta of $102.50.
Don't let yourself dwell too much on that last race if the outcome was a negative one....

Thanks for your concern. Actually, I found the results of those two close losses to be encouraging. I had been a little down in the dumps because of my long losing streak, but I had stopped looking at lost races. I lost the first couple at Belmont yesterday, but I felt good because at least my horses were showing up. It's hard to explain, but they were losing the same way the horses lost when I was having my best results (if that makes any sense). Anyway, I felt that I was going to win soon, that I was getting back on track. I know the wins that I had weren't big prices, but at least I was winning.
