no son, where you get off saying that? how TF do you know what I do or how I bet? Thanks for admitting your problem. There's nothing wrong about being dead money.

Are you a professional gambler? I just think it is odd that I picked a few races out of all the races in america, and you also were betting the race. Now it is possible, but considering you made you pick at post time I am going to guess you bet every race or you just throw up picks and don't really bet them. Who knows, maybe it was a coincidence. Doubt it though.

no, son, more semi-pro. but i do handicap the card and if a horse goes off x% above what i think it should, that's when i bet. Prosp Queen ft well. At a certain odds level, I will bet ex boxes with my selection. IOn a 10 race card, I will bet 3-4 races. I suggest you stop worrying about me and start handicapping better or else your daddy will be broke.

My daddy is no longer with us. I will never go broke because I stop gambling if my TVG account runs out of money. I won't fill up again until next January when I put a certain percentage of my income into the account. All depends on how the cars are moving.

Well, as an alternative, I suggest you learn how to gamble so you don't go broke as often. You see, the idea is to make money, not gamble it away until it's gone. You follow?

I don't mind losing. It is my entertainment. My horses cost me more than the money I lose gambling. Remember too, one race doesn't make a day.

Who is your pick in the 8th at Belmont?

lets see,,,,

1. S halory... I don't care for all the layoff lines and don't think he wins stepping up off 7 months off.
4. Organizer.... Don't think his style of losing ground and placement on the turn is going to work against these which are better than his recent NY bred competition.
6. Dr P. Well, maybe, but not me. I guess he may have been short last time but I'm not going to take a short nmber on him to find out. He's an ok play at 5-1 or 6-1, but he's going to be 2-1 or 3-1 at most. It's tough for me to like a horse that has not run to it's top number earned in it's first race. Always underlaid odds, it seems.
5. Perrycard.... I already have fairly big action against him heads up with the 7, Santas Gold. The race he won at Gulf in April was not all that impressive to me.... Wrigley, Purple Aces, etc. I watched all of his races this am... I'll be surprised if he runs very well.
3. Salty... Real nice win and he's playable to me at 5-1+
7. Santas Gold... Looks decent and he does like the track. Decent last race first vs winners. I think he's better going 1-turn and should run well. Playable at 6-1+

That's it. I'll have the 3 and/or the 7 to win at the right prices.
