RQ,I know just what you mean about those extra ZZZZ's, especially in the middle of the afternoon. I can be reading and suddenly find my eyes trying to close and my head trying to droop. Reminds me how some of my audience must have felt during some presentations I made pre-retirement, especially when I drew the first slot after the lunch break.
It doesn't make an iota of difference in the week's outcome - no one can catch Ruffian when she catches those $55 winners - but I did want to mention that in Race 12, there was a gate scratch of #1 Tuppence, whom I included in my trifecta efforts. That probably helped reduce the trifecta payoffs to some degree. I calculate that the scratch reduced the wager amount from $99 to $58, which would have increased the net return to $47.40. I know you keep annual records and just wanted to mention this.
