The WhataBurger stakes: Veach hiding from Wayne

texture · YDAU, run-up to the WhataBurger

• When: YDAU November, the two-plus weeks before the WhataBurger Jr. Invitational in Tucson AZ (Thanksgiving week)
• What: The season's competitive engine for Wayne is the WhataBurger, where he is expected to meet — and beat — the #1 American junior, an Independent named Veach down in Pompano Beach FL, whom Wayne trails by only a couple U.S.T.A. computer points and who "is well known to be hiding out from Wayne, avoiding him... allegedly nursing a like four-month groin-pull, sitting on his ranking." Per n110, "Wayne's got a chance to knock this Veach kid off the pole"; the WhataBurger is the pivot on which Wayne's pro prospects and his family's mine-exit turn. (This makes event 21's "would have won this year's WhataBurger" the more pointed.)
