ROI Results 9/7 @ Kentucky Downs

[Real Quiet]

Kentucky Downs may be a pretty track to look at and it's great to see full fields but for the most
part our wagering attempts were pretty ugly. Sure, Ruffian missed on a long shot and a longer than
long shot and Joly B and Cal came close on exotics but for the most part Kentucky Downs put
a hurting on most bankrolls. Only one player could figure out the undulating greens of the Downs
and that was our turf monster NJ Stinks. NJS placed a win bet on Midnight Oasis and the $8.80
payout was more than enough for his second ROI win of the year. I couldn't figure out the European
connection or the turf bloodlines but NJ Stinks hit the nail on the head. Nicely played NJS and
congrats on the win. Following are the unofficial results pending any objections or scratchamania's
on my part. See you all next week wherever we wind up.

WIN... NJ Stinks... +$40.80... Race 5: $32 to win on #2 $8.80 X 16... $140.80

SECONDITIS SYNDROME

YA WIN SOME - YA LOSE SOME
~ OR SO IVE BEEN TOLD
BUT THE 2ND PLACE TROPHY
IS ALL THAT I HOLD

I TRY VERY HARD
TO PICK WHO WILL WIN
AND YET WHEN ITS OVER
IT'S A 2nd AGAIN!

WAS A 'BIZZY CHANNEL'
A 'SMART REMARK' TOO
CLOSE DOESN'T COUNT
ON THE WIN BETS I DO

A LESSON TO BE LEARNED
NEXT TIME WHEN I RACE
THAT MAYBE CONSIDER
TO ALSO BET “PLACE!”

Could be a lot of handicapping going on this weekend with our contest and the Beat Byk contest. Who all from our group besides Joly and myself are playing in the Beat Byk contest? I think Ruffian or Roamin would have to be major contenders for the Beat Byk contest, if they are playing.

The Beat Byk contest is a contest to determine the player that will represent Derby Trail in the NTRA/NHC contest in Vegas. It has been going on for several weekends. Our host, Steve Byk has selected a contest race on past Saturdays and Sundays and made a selection in those races. If your winning selection beat his selection or even if you went with the same winning selection, you earned an entry into the final contest which is this coming Saturday. Sorry to hear that you were not aware of the contest, but I did mention it at one point(see my post of 7/17).

For what it's worth I will be playing in the contest.
