Tampa Pick 4: 1-5-8

[blackthroatedwind]

I have a good friend who got DQ'd out of the Pick-4 today. He loved the 10th winner and gave me a 10 minute speech about him this morning. I, of course, forgot to bet but felt terrible for him. It felt like one of those fouls that was so late they could have let it go. He might have taken down the whole pool.

Why doesn't Tampa have a head-on for their turf course? Using the one for the dirt course creates an angle that is possibly deceptive. They do such a good job there, and run plenty of turf races, you would think they could spend the $1000 or so it costs to mount a camera in the correct spot.
