I tried to completely kick out the favorite with Vale of York, and failed. Nice job, DrugSy.

Hey! I picked Vale of York in the BC Contest! (granted I only picked because of the Euro longshot angle and I have an ex who lives in York) Thought for sure I was going to win the BC Contest when Vale of York won and Corageous Cat ran 2nd next out.. great job mira and RHT!

VoY was my salvation for a modest profit on the day, just because I had him on some back-up tickets. But I certainly did not crush him, or the day--congrats Drugs!
Where did you wind up playing? I was at Green Valley Ranch, which is one of the Station properties. Very comfortable. I was a LONG day. Had to be at the book by 8am to get a good seat. Then all day horse racing. Then hopped in the car around 5:00pm and went to the Rio to watch the WSOP. Stayed there until 2:45am, when I was just semi-conscious (they finished up--down to two players--at 5:50am). Back to the hotel and sleep around 3:30am. I am too old for this crap!

I was most comfortable in the Ballagio's racebook ... the chairs they have are the bomb. Liked it better than the other ones I saw ... The Rio, Ceaser's Palace, and The Orleans. The most annoying thing by far was trying to watch a football game on Sunday. All of the racebooks and sportsbooks I went to ... NOT A SINGLE ONE would let you watch football on your personal mini-tv. They didn't show the Pats game locally - so I couldn't get it in the room... they showed the Cards/Bears game and Colts/Texans game ... so it was impossible to watch the game and horses simultaniously on Sunday. I had to walk over to the Sports book and strain my neck watching it because every chair was taken. Food was either great but kind of expensive or good but cheap...depending on where you went. I was at a buffet and I see an old black guy with a big gold cross .. and two females. One a REAL hot young very light skinned probably white girl .. the other a middle aged asain girl. I swear to God I've seen this guy on tv before but I wasn't sure where. I kept thinking he was connected to boxing somehow...I had to see this guy on a HBO fight telecast somewhere or something. After about ten minutes .. it hit me ... it was Joe Jackson and I saw him on Larry King. I wish I had my cell phone on me for that .. I would have loved to have got a picture with him and sent it to a few people. I got to see real actual street hookers for the first time in my life. There were two black girls dressed super trashy prancing around on the sidewalk by the Burger King at 4AM - it was in between where The Palms and Orleans are and where the casino with the roller coaster in front of it is. I got some cool pics on my cell phone ... but next time I go I have to bring a real camera and take some pics and talk to some of these people. I was so locked in on the horses and wanting to see my game on Sunday .. and because of how well things went betting on Saturday I needed to be wasting money drinking with strippers and feeling good the rest of the time after that. But it would have been real epic if I brought a camera and took some pictures and did a story post with them. Last edited by The Indomitable DrugS : 11-13-2009 at 03:43 AM.

Doug,
Tremendous work.. Other than using Furthest Land in P3's, which salvaged the day, I stumbled around Saturday. No streetwalkers in Erie huh?

This is amazing work. Congrats!
BTW, Caesars lets you watch the games at the private tvs. Bellagio does have those wonderful leather chairs that you can just sink into. They also comp pretty well for your play on the horses. The only thing there is that they cut so much into the book to make more room for poker that it feels really congested in there.

Yep - the chairs at the Bellagio are the best.

It's possible we might have some over on Holland Street. I've heard people say that before ... but I never go through there in the middle of the night. I'm probably the only person alive deranged enough to want to ask them for a picture with them ... just so I can send it to people.
