I always heard it was bad luck to be superstitious.:)

he was second, i thought that was pretty good.

I tip everybody. That way it makes the people I deal with winners even when my bets are running 2ond. Never bet Barry Abrams horses when they have a Car wash rag on thier head. Bob Baffert has to has his sunglasses on for me to bet his horse. Mike Mitchell must be in the paddock area before his horse arrives or it's a no bet. I guess these are really rules and not superstitions.
