It took forever, but Saturday I got a check from Churchill Downs, Inc.
I'm surprised. But nice to know the system grinds on, albeit slowly  |
For future reference, if it's more than $20 or whatever, make sure you send it via CERTIFIED and INSURED mail. I do it all the time with sportsbook tickets from Las Vegas, like you can bet the next week's football games and mail the winners back. They're required by law to make sure you get paid properly.
