The OTB...gotta love it

I am standing about 20 feet behind a guy, about my age, that is sitting at the bar, drunk as a skunk...at 1:30 in the afternoon mind you. Dude is drinking Bud like they are gonna quit bottling it tomorrow. A race at Suffolk goes off and right away he is screaming at the top of his lungs at the #3 horse. Screams at it the whole way around the track and it ends up finishing 2nd. He cussing and raising a fuss, etc...

2 minutes later, the replay of the race starts...and yep...SCREAMING at the 3 horse to get up the whole way around the track....ON THE REPLAY!!!!! Curses his luck again after the race that the 3 horse didn't win.
I was almost on the floor crying from laughing so hard.


I should be careful about what I say, that is liable to be Scavs, Sent To Stud, and myself this coming winter at Gulfstream

Now if all days at an OTB contained one moment like you described, I would quit my job and become a bartender at the fine establishment you patronize.
That is really good stuff.

The poor guy thought his horse need his last race and would do better this time. Still LOL
