Actually, anywhere where slots jack up the purse but not the caliming price. At Mnr, $5k is typical and day rates are probably less.

In addition to being leery of layoffs of 6 months or shorter raquired for bleeding through lasix, I suggest you look over the PP's closely to assess any of the following:

For me, would never touch this class of runners, take on a partner and do the 10,000 scenario, just might get a good one. Watch Maggi Moss do her thing in New York.
