Thank you to the Trappe Shot touters here. I really hadn't looked at him too closely having been in 37K races not too far back.

When I walked into the OTB to put my $100 win and $200 place on Lucky, the 4-5 odds 10 minutes to post significantly dampened my enthusiasm for the full bet. I was expecting 8-5 or better, and I expected the money in the place pool to be spread around more than it was.

Post post parade decision after seeing the horses I lessened my wager.

I kept the $100 win in play, then put $100 on a Lucky-Trappe Shot $50 exacta box. It was less than I intended originally to bet, was my reasoning. Lucky on the rail concerned me today, but with only 7 horses in the field I was pretty sure he'd get up for at least 2nd.

With the touting here, I had reviewed Trappe Shot more closely and thought he was much more ready than anything else in the field.

Best part was that The Haskell was the DRF free race of the day online, and the OTB had run out of programs so was giving out free copy machine versions. No program or form expense for the day.

Only race I played this weekend.

Makes up for the $120 I lost in my only play last weekend trying to beat Rachel.

Its funny because the other day when I was wrong, you thought it was ok to take a shot at me. Now today, I did the exact same thing you did yesterday and you get personal. Like I said last week, glad to know where we stand.
