Probably going to take a few days off while I'm away.

As is typically the case, the bums had a major falloff in money lost on Tuesday versus where they had been, but still managed to court $2,029 in losses, bringing the grand total so far to $133,913.

That was close, you should have known better!

I know -- best late pace fig.

I saw a horse won at Suffolk at 83/1 about the same time. Had to go on tonight and check and make sure it wasn't disaster for the bums.

13 of them ran -- all of them 5th or worse other than the Saratoga scare.

154 down, only 846 more to go.

I was out of town so I didn't have a chance to calculate until this morning, the Wednesday bums lost an estimated $10,202 bringing the grand total so far to $144,115.

165 down, only 835 more to go.

Today's bums managed to lose a staggering $22,552 bringing the grand total wasted so far to $166,667.

Amazingly, the two bums in the 4th at Saratoga were separated by only $6 in the wagering, Dontrainonmyparade had $4,599 lost on him while Sucre blew $4,605. 'Parade outran his rival though, beating him by 7 lengths, although he was still 6th of 7 beaten 32 lengths, and beaten 14 3/4 by the 5th place finisher.

27 of them ran -- only one of them finished in the top 3 -- that was Black Potion who finished 3rd beaten 13 lengths at 31/1 odds in Thistle Downs 2nd race.

I can't believe $743 was bet on the hopeless bum in the last race at Northlands Park. They must have had one hell of a nice turnout for Canadian Derby day.

Thanks largely to the fleecing of the crowd at Saratoga, the bums managed to lose a single day record of $62,878 bringing the new (quite) grand total to $229,445 of real money.

I confess I could not find any info about the horse at Northlands as I don't have pool information for there and both DRF and Equibase charts only go up to race 10, but I will take your word about the $743 he lost and it is included in the total.

I'll save you some time. 17 ran, none hit the board. 10 ran last, and one of the others ran next to last to another bum.

Stunningly, one of the ones who didn't run was 6/1 in a five horse field at Timonioum with just 1 mintue to post before the entire card was cancelled.

209 down, only 791 more to go. (This is long -- I'm tempted to start taking 80 horses a day)

The bums today managed to incinerate another $30,553 bringing the total up to an impressive $260,002.
