Well, we had the exacta, Jim!

This cuts my contest ROI down to -9.5%. Woo hoo, I beat the track take.

EDIT: Ha! mis-calculated. My ROI is -17%, right on target with the track take.

Nope, you missed my (almost immediate) edit. I finished 174th! You edged me out.

Of course, we both beat you-know-who, so we get a shot at the "Finals".

You lost at the SA track take rate, and I lost at the Oaklawn track take rate!

I knew agreeing to this contest was a mistake.







I had a similar feeling to when I told you about this board.

I guess we both wish we could go back in time and change things.

I can't afford to lose 30 large!

I ended up 13th for the day. I was 8th, rushed my last optional bets, and pissed away a shot at the money.

Andrew sir....may I say the show seems to already be a huge hit?

I hope so.




I really think this is just the start.

I see you in the lead role in a remake of After Hours ( one of my favs)...probably done with a twist by Martin S.

I can't be anymore complimentary....I think you know that.
