I spent the rent money on my twin daughters
16th birthday party - but "In God I Trust" so I had about
$80 to turn into a 1k by Monday morning. I dropped the kids
off at the mall and I went to work at a local OTB nearby.
It was Louisiana Derby day and there were some horses I
liked that day. I started cashing on Nates Mineshaft,
then I hit on Casino Day in the next. I still hadn't paid the rent
but I was drinking lots of beer and starting to warm up! In the
LA derby I was looking for an upset and someone who would go
wire to wire. I was liking Comisky's Humor, but I had also bet
another Sharp Humor horse two weeks earlier on the grass...
Hero of Order. So I plunked down my win/place money and exactor
with Mark Valeski and started cheering. If they ever have a contest where someone yells at his horse to win, I'll be 1/9 to win
and they lived happily ever after
