Rare race I bet less than $30. Rare race I bet more than $80.
Usually W, P, Ex, Q and Tri with no definitive combo. Sometimes Win only. Sometimes Tri only.
In fact, I believe that'll be my plan for the OTB in about an hour or so....
Thanks for getting me in the mood! |
Well, followed my strategy to a "T" today and didn't collect a winner.
Though I found good horses that did well, I didn't couple or play the best way.
(maybe not "the best way," but a way to just collect the ticket!)
I had both of Mike Smith's first rides, but just missed my exotics. I really liked his 11-1 filly in the 4th, but the #3 horse roughed her up out of the gate and she had to take back and rally late for 3rd. Unfortunately, I had her nicely in the top two with Baffert's $1,000,000 first time on the track filly who did win the race.
After I lost my 5th wager of the day, I did a "Cartman (South Park)" and said "scroow you guys, I'm going home!"
I then went wine tasting to adjust the attitude to a more positive state....
....the grill is being fired up now.
I still LOVE horse racing, win or lose. Really.
