Anyone enjoy the SPORT OF KINGS?

[tomthirtysix]

Anyway... anyone besides my good friend @SKYDIVNEKD like to wager on the ponies?

Years ago, when I worked at a butcher shop, we had an old man who came in for breakfast every morning before going to Belmont or Aqueduct. Sometimes he had tips for us. He usually hit.

He called us one day with a tip. Said to put as much as we could on it. It was less than 10 min to post. Thankfully my boss had a camaro with a lot of work done. I was able to get to OTB in plenty of time, running $10 win tix until until post time, to avoid taxes. We did very well.

Belmont has a family Sunday promotion. They have bounce houses and games and stuff for the kids. Pony rides, of course. When I lived near the track, I'd take my son down sometimes. It was maybe $10 total for parking and admission to the grounds. I could bring whatever food and drink I wanted (no glass was the only restriction), and had a nice day out with the family. Most Sundays, especially toward the end of the card, we could walk right up to the rail and watch as the horses ran past to finish the race.

Great story. Smart doing the raffle ticket move for taxes.

I'm not picking the #4 because it's the favorite. My Grandma... my Mom's mom, was called Ev my Grandpa. I know for a fact my Mom would have picked this name. So.... no math on this pick.

Should have quit ... but there's no fun in that. Other than the folding money that is. LOL Tomorrow we play again.

Woops they want some more back.
RACE #9
1.00M Prevagen Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf

#4 Can Group... WPS

 

[cohibasurfer]

The #4 won The Bourbon. Isn't that a good enough reason to back a 17-1 horse?

 

[cohibasurfer]

Welp fellerz.... last to fourth. Keep an eye out for Can Group.
Remember... he won The Bourbon.

Watch a little NCAA football in between
Smoke 2-3 ceegars.

I put a little change on
Notre Dame -3 and over 44 (2 teamer)
something to keep me occupied before the races
and
OSU +6 against those Sooner Boomers straight.
to take peeks at while I'm waiting in between races.

If anyone is watching the races. Check out the story behind Cody's Wish. It's a real heart warmer. He's going to race in about a half hour.

 

[cohibasurfer]

BOOM!
Cody's wish by a nose.

(my last name is Dohrman)
It was destiny! He retires now.

ETA: INQUIREY!
