amount of money...I guess the track isn't for you.

personally...one should be ready with thier wagers in plenty of time...so they don't get shut out.

No, I'm not saying that they're a bad wager at all, just that I don't think they're a good idea for major racing days.

Arlington Million day is fresh in my mind last year getting shut out on a race after being third in line at a machine with seven minutes to post. Of course you can't know who is going to be playing what ahead of you in line and as you're waiting, the other lines grow longer with last-minute bettors, so you get stuck in the line you choose on a day with a large number of people there.

That's all I'm saying -- thinking that watching the odds until seven minutes to post would be plenty of time to get a wager in and then getting stuck behind someone trying to enter a bunch of $.40 supers who doesn't know what they're doing but can't resist making half-dollar bets. Imagine with 100,000+ at Churchill...
