Congrats to Roamin in the win!  Great race call, Miz R!

[Cigarshop]

Well done to the winner....

race call up to our standards....

[Dusty]

Congrats ROAMIN!!!

[Roamin]

thank you all for the congrats, some time it is just luck as it was in the last race.  Francisco Maysonett was always unlucky for me whenever he was in NJ.  I never collected a penny on his mounts.  I was reluctant using him in that race and he finally showed some skill coming late to finish 2nd.
