I didn't come close to having the year of the Indomitable One.
I can't get DrugS out of bed.

I actually even made some halfway decent money betting Presque Isle.

Talk about utterly impossible achievements.

I think we all had a better year than Gary Sciacca.

288 starts 10 wins (3%) 0.58 ROI
It must take an awful lot of effort to be that bad.

He's had some great moments of glory before - just look at the Belmont Park stats in the back of Davidowitz's book.

You'd think he was Mullins or Dutrow.

Take away Tobruk and Piazza Di Spagna and things would even have been worse.. Rough year...Let's hope DT Stables gets the barn jump started with their FTS in a week or so

Overall, not too bad. I really think I am learning more and more all the time as far as structuring tri's and super's that have a chance to return decent money without overspending to make the bet and carefully watching the way others make multi-race bets. I share sentiments with Matt in that I have children that want my attention. Preparation and organization cost me dearly on several days, and it was the winning bets that I didnt make that really frustrated me. I had a bunch of signers (some thanks to Steve, one thanks to Herk) but none where they withhol the taxes automatically (those are real good). Looking forward to 2010.

Speaking from experience...Seconditis is a very very costly ailment....

Better than '08, but that's not saying much. I'm going to bet more pick 3's. Going to stay away from Pick 4's till I can get a handle on the pick 3's. I've always been win, exacta guy, and the past year or so started playing 3's and 4's. Ticket structure is killing me, but I'm learning, one buck at a time.
