Default I know its redboarding but hear me out...

I made the biggest bet i have ever made on a horse race today in Jibbom $30w$20p and i really dont think i have had a thrill like that in a long time watching that horse come out of turn 4 and just friggin take off. Before the race i was down $116. Man that is why i love horse racing, get kicked in the butt all day and all it takes is one race to turn it all around. We were sitting on the grassy area just after turn 4 and i started running like an idiot yelling and screaming the whole way toward the finish line. Needless to say the people i was with were about to wet there pants from laughing watching me make an idiot out of myself but it was totally worth it. Following horse racing has made me realize how much it is like life. It only takes one race one moment to turn it all around. Thanks for allowing me to post my ramblings.

Nice hit, wac! I was watching race on Internet. That was some closing kick by winner... Did you buy drinks for everyone in your party? Or did someone video your celebration and post it on YouTube?

Hell I've been making a fool of myself every race day. People around me know who I bet when they turn for home. It doesn't make a differance if it's 2bucks or 2 hundred dollars, I will be making a fool of myself.

Dont listen to the naysayers. Congrats!

Nothing like a hit like that is there?

I could list a thousand opportunities just like that where i overthought the situation and ended up betting chalk that ended way up the track.
