A surprise from Arlington
 

When I was at Sumwon's race at Arlington, I had a winning ticket on another race I forgot to cash and found a few days later.

Checked one day when I was over at Churchill, no, they wouldn't cash it.

A couple months ago, I photocopied the ticket, crossed my fingers, dropped the original in an envelope to "Mutual Department Arlington Park" - "Please cash and send me a check". I figured at worse, somebody would have a couple of nice dinners on me, the ticket was just sitting around here.

It took forever, but Saturday I got a check from Churchill Downs, Inc.

I'm surprised. But nice to know the system grinds on, albeit slowly :)

You could have had it done in like 14 days if you would have just sent it to me, there is this feature called a PM you know

uhhhh :confused:

yeah, that was really random, and then he either deleted it or left

You just need a freshening after Breeders Cup ;)

I need a kick in the pants and a punch in the face, is what I need

No, that was me - I'm at a friends house, we were looking at DT, and he signed off so I could re-sign on under my OWN name (so I deleted the response from me under his name)

Makes perfect sense ;)

That's awesome, glad it worked out for you.

I can provide both.

Though I do echo what Scav said -- if you run into that again with a Chicago track, just PM one of us and send it through mail. You'd have it back in about a week :D

My friends, the track rats :cool:

For future reference, if it's more than $20 or whatever, make sure you send it via CERTIFIED and INSURED mail. I do it all the time with sportsbook tickets from Las Vegas, like you can bet the next week's football games and mail the winners back. They're required by law to make sure you get paid properly. :)

i can deliver the goods where and when...:cool:

im in too
