Any depaula play of the day?

Why oh why couldn't Shannon won the eighth at Kentucky downs, that would have paid enough for the pick 5 to make up for the horrible summer of luck and not so good picks Steve had at the spa, as Andy Sterling says Saratoga racetrack humbles everyone one time or another, thank you so much Steve for taking the time to post your picks every day, things will get better.

Shannon winning would have been nice, but the middle P4 paid $4,300, so, that was OK.. Was a terrific day at KyD. Hope everyone did great.

As for Saratoga, has been typical in terms of quality of opinions and frustratingly torturous in terms of big P-X ticket play. The DQ and non-DQ early on cost over $4k and a couple of photos another $3k. That's going to happen.

Oh, did you hit the middle pick 4 at Kentucky downs, great, because I didn't hit it because I just used your picks as far as using the a' s with the C's, I don't have enough bankroll using B's with C's which you would of have to do to hot the middle pick 4 at Kentucky downs yesterday, I am done betting the horses for a while, my bankroll is gone, when you do bad I do bad, Good luck to you
