I turned in my picks for yesterday's card under the title 'Presque Isle Wed Selections' .. and someone new in the sports department thought it was a spam E-mail about weddings (since Presque Isle is where a lot of weddings happen) and they deleted it. My cell phone was off all evening and so for the first time ever - they ran a card without my picks.
I had the exacta in that race picked cold - it paid just $12.00 - and consisted of a horse winning who was 8/1 on the ML and a 2nd place finisher at 6/1 on the ML in a 12 horse field.
Had the picks appeared - I would have heard how those two horses got "Salvatore'd down" ... when in reality they went off at the odds they should go off at. It's a frequent thing where horses that are 5/1 on the ML go off at 4/5 - not because I pick them like a few goofballs upstairs think, but because those are the odds they should go off at.
