Jim's Orbit On Leave

Hello racing fans!

I just wanted you to know that I'm alive and well, even if this blog is barely breathing these days. I'm sorry to say that circumstances have prevented me from giving this blog the attention it deserves. The reasons are many, but they are boring so I won't get too much into them. From about the time I was promoted at my day job early this past spring, free time became scarce. And the free time I do have has been going into wedding planning (no, I'm not a wedding planner, I mean planning my own wedding in November).

However, this site will stay up in hopes that I find some time to post this summer. I'll be at Saratoga during Travers week to write for the Saratoga Special, so maybe I'll track down some of the Texas connections up there.

I just returned from a very nice weekend in Dallas, spent mostly at Lone Star Park. Hit a nice Pick Four on Saturday that included 8-1 Alleged Hug, as well as 9-2 Bob Johnson Memorial winner Sing Baby Sing, who this handicapper had picked on top in that day's Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

In any case, please continue to check in every month or so. It's just not possible for me to stay quiet for long stretches, so I'll be back eventually.
