Played this ticket with a friend, hoping to change recent luck by posting ticket

I did, but the idiotic thing is the only other horse I used was the third finisher, at 40:1, and I didn't bet tris.

My fault.

I really screwed that race up. Played tris 5,10 w/ 4,5,10 with several horses including the 2.

Betting horses like Vitruvious is dangerous to your bankroll.

You can't say I didn't warn you.

[hockey2315]

You did. . . and I scaled back accordingly.

Vitruvious is a horse that people pick because two years ago they thought he was going to be very good.

There is a serious reason he has made three starts in two years. These kinds of horses almost never win and never justify their odds.

On an unrelated note.....there was a party for Casino Drive at Nobu tonight, where coincidentally I happened to be eating ( along with A Rod....who is one big dude up close ). You would have laughed to see me talking to some of the people who were there....that spoke no English.

Baseball been bery bery good to them!!

The funny thing is that I've always been anti-Vitruvius. The only horse I really loved all day was Zaftig and didn't make a dime on her. Just singled her in the PK4.

Nobu on a Saturday night? What a life. . .

[blackthroatedwind]

Same with me. I singled her in the Pick-4....and didn't have another winner on the ticket.

She's a very nice horse. The Mother Goose could be a scorcher.

It was probably funnier seeing you hold back a smile/your opinion when Siegal picked Stalingrad. The smirk was priceless

[blackthroatedwind]

Not at all.

He has a great opinion. Who am I to laugh at his picks? I pick plenty of losers and bad horses.

Plus, it's not like he follows NY like I do. I'm sure if I showed up at Del Mar I would pick plenty of bad horses that he would know were bad bets.
