You spent $600 on an exacta? In other words, half of a mortgage payment.
I had to look to see if it was one of Gulfstream's favorite races to card, the ol $6,250 claimer.
I don't know you from a can of paint, but I'd imagine too many losses of this caliber would drive ya from the game completely, no matter how much one wins at the windows.
I lost $1650 the Day before the TB Derby and I was seriously contemplating cutting all ties to horse racing. Made close to 5k over the next two days, but even at that point I didn't possess the cajônes to toss $600 on one race over arguably the worst surfaces in the game. Gulfstream's turf course looks like complete **** and their dirt course is well documented as being horrible.
Best of luck to those playing today (some more than others)
