LIVE: DRF/NTRA Contest from Arlington Park

[Scav]

Well, today was probably the biggest disappointment in my wagering career. I ended up between 10th and 15th with TWO opportunities to overtake the top spot and both my horses ran 4th at 17/1. I had both bombs (Soul Survivor at $35 and Gold Hornet at $26) and couldn't connect the rest of the day. If Sciacca's horse in the 6th holds on I win the thing. So disappointing, think I am done until the BC and even then is garbage.

Can't beat Catalano or Calabrese, just garbage.

I don't know...I know some guy's Dad jumped from about 20th to 3rd because of the 4. I don't think many people had a race left to play at that point.

and no....all 7th got me was a high 5 from Dell and Barney and a woulda' coulda' shoulda' if I had playing both Dreaming horses

Yep, garbage. It was a great strategy to keep that wager alive to chase a bomb in a wide open race. Hindsight I wish I didn't play that 2 year old race and saved it for that race, thing is that I doubt I would have played that horse being that I was only $140 out of 1st, probably would have played Steve's '9' horse. Did you look to see where I officially finished?
