Same here. Capital OTB has some great promotions but they consistently FAIL to follow through with letting patrons know the results. I caught one bet that Andy made...in the first race he bet $40 to win on the $40 winner so he started off about $800 to the good. After that I lost the web stream and was never able to see any more. Of course, true to tradition, Capital OTB has no news or results on their web site. They will never learn how to do promotions effectively unless they follow through. I hope you did well.

I tapped out.....but there was plenty of action. Needed the second horse in the last for the Pick-4 to salvage the day.

Had a good time. Freddy was my chauffeur.

It was actually a lot of fun. The people were nice, serious racing fans, and very understanding of my plethora of mediocre opinions.

Andy, if you recall, can you post the bets? (not the horse numbers in particular, just the type of bet and amount). Just wondering how you chose to distribute that bankroll.
