Since he was in the 5th race, I looked at a couple Pick 3's that involve the 5th. I pieced together a $3 ticket (singling the 8 in the 4th and the 8 in the 5th) in the 3-4-5 races and I put together a $5 ticket with races 4-5-6, thinking I would bang each ticket a few times. There is no Pick 3 starting with the 5th so I stopped at that. I got busy at work and was nowhere near an internet connection in BFE North Carolina. At about noon, I thought about calling my wife to see if she could put the tickets in for me, but I just said screw it it will be a pain in the ass and didn't call her.
I just got back to my hotel room and watched the replays. I want to throw up.....
Willsboro Point went wire to wire and paid $77.80 to win. Races 3-4-5 P3 paid $1,342.30 for each $1 and the P3 for races 4-5-6 paid $1,055.60 for each $1.
Did I mention that I want to throw up?

OUCH. Unfortunately I know the feeling and can empathize to a degree for I bet this one first out as well...my day job got in the way of me getting back aboard today with a simple $10WP play. I am sick myself. Not often will we get $77 winners.
