Default My Friend Fred

So I grew up going to the track when I was 14 with my life long buddy named Fred. At 53 Fred's had a tough luck life. Fred stayed with his wife 3 years longer than he wanted as she was dyeing with cancer and he could not leave her even though he wanted to. Fred's have 4-5 bad luck jobs. Fred dated a girl moved in and when she wanted to open a spa he parlayed every cent, max out all his credit cards, borrowed from friends, only to find the girl split and leave him with a dream he never wanted and a nightmare in debt.

Why am I telling you this? Well, today my handicapping buddy won the Beulah handicapping contest over some 200+ people and took home a well disserved $22K as well as a trip to the finals in Vegas.

I've never been so happy for someone else. He diserves it and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Look out Vegas, Fred's coming!
