I'd rather eat broken glass than take my wife to the track.

I've never been with a guy that can put up with my horse racing addiction, so I can honestly say that I've never brought a guy (except Brian :p ) to the track either.

It's the same for me now. I was telling Jamie about it in Orlando, that my partner is still a jerk. He has no problem going with me when I hit seven winners in a row at Hawthorne and have let him buy in a quarter of the pick-3 and pick-4 bets I hit that day. No, the track is awesome when I'm able to turn his $20 into $300.

Though wait until the day that I can't hit a winner to save my life.....cut to the whole, "How come you can't pick a winner. There were only six horses in the last race, you had a one in six chance, yammer yammer yammer yammer."

You can't win with people that don't understand what's really going on.

See above, for a reminder as to why your zero-guys-at-the-track philosophy is spot-on.

Good thing Sniper and I found each other, we can cap together and he tolerates my goo-gooism over horses.

Honestly, I'd love to meet one that understood. Which is why... (well you know where I'm going with this ;) .) One of these days, I'll meet someone that I'm compatible with. Until then, I'll hang out with all of the DT'ers. :cool:
