I turned in my picks for yesterday's card under the title 'Presque Isle Wed Selections' .. and someone new in the sports department thought it was a spam E-mail about weddings (since Presque Isle is where a lot of weddings happen) and they deleted it. My cell phone was off all evening and so for the first time ever - they ran a card without my picks.

I had the exacta in that race picked cold - it paid just $12.00 - and consisted of a horse winning who was 8/1 on the ML and a 2nd place finisher at 6/1 on the ML in a 12 horse field.

Had the picks appeared - I would have heard how those two horses got "Salvatore'd down" ... when in reality they went off at the odds they should go off at. It's a frequent thing where horses that are 5/1 on the ML go off at 4/5 - not because I pick them like a few goofballs upstairs think, but because those are the odds they should go off at.

Take the oddsmaker job. I can see it now, the next Easy E. Look up to Eric, make him your role model. For a small fee, and a free meal I will come up and help you out.

You'd make a much better linemaker than what's here ... or at most racetracks for that matter.

The sad part is .. I'm not joking.

I appreciate the confidence you have in me, this will help the friendship grow. Maybe even you can be part of the team. Give me an email link, I will express intrest in being the new linemaker at PID.

Fine work Dani..........I'm on vacation this week so I don't have the time or resources to put together a quality effort. But I did have 2 minutes to find a potential sidekick costume for young Douglass.
