I have a piece of a colt right now that Craig Dollase will be training and he lets me think of next May all the time. Odds are against it but that is what makes syndicates great.
True, and you are always much better off taking a piece of an expensive ticket on the pik-6 then putting in 60 bucks of your own and trying to hit one. Taking a piece of a big ticket allows you to dream of hitting one for 100K. Playing one for 60 bucks might get you one very cheap one in a year, in effect chewing you up.
