It's cool to be excited about a hit and there's no rule against redboarding here, but you should probably understand why it causes a few people to roll their eyes.

your right, I forgot about the random person yelling and screaming they have something, everytime I think they are full of crap or have it for a $1..

Matter fact, I did this yesterday when there was a monster exacta at Monmouth and there was a guy that had the exacta for $3 (99/1 over 42/1) and missed the tri because he didn't use the chalk, he really did have it though.
