Yeah that's exactly what happened. Thanks for the info everyone.

I am new. I just started going to the track a few months ago. I used to play poker (pretty successfully) and this fall tried my hand at football handicapping (moderately successfully). When football was over I gave horse racing a shot and really liked the whole experience a lot.

In the beginning I sucked at it. Now after reading a bunch of the books, I'm getting better, but still in the red. Recently in 6 races I hit 5 exactas.

I heard Steve talk about the pick 6 on "At the Races". I got a bunch of people to invest in my picks and I took a shot hoping to make a big hit. I still have a long way to go, but the big payout was the attraction.
