Don't forget to be on the lookout for omens and keep a pad and pencil on the nightstand to write down your dreams for later analysis. Remember, it is just as important to read your tea leaves as it is to read your racing form. When I handicap I always make sure I surround myself with various lucky charms and on big event days (as well as the second Sunday following any new moon), I make sure the sacrifice of a live chicken or goat takes place.
If a horse shows up in the program with the same name or has similar markings as your dead cat, do not dismiss this as "coincidence" or mere superstition. Certain celestial phenomena and planetary alignments often times provide big payouts to those in tune with the heavens. A horse with the same name as your deceased pet may be the cosmos' way of telling you something....especially if it happened to be a fast cat.
