Plain and simple, back on the ESPN boards for the 2004 BC contest we had. I went to Portland Meadows and played win bets and few tris on the races there.
For our contest, and for my win bets, I had the late pick-4, which included Wilko and Better Talk Now as my top choices. Sadly. I didn't play pick-X bets often then that day, except my mom and I took a stab at the pick-6.
We had the late four on our pick-6 ticket after missing the first two, and no pick-4 to show for it, which would have paid in the neighborhood of $50K.
And then once at Arlington, I was alive to one horse in the 10th on a late pick-4 that would have paid something in the ballpark of $9K, and it ran third.
Ho-hum.
