Last thought from me - toss Smiley Borel at your on risk

I lost $$, but consider the Kentucky Derby betting a positive. Really.

When I realized I couldn't see an angle I could really sell myself I just put in wagers about 1/3 on what I would ordinarily play on the Kentucky Derby.

And then sat back and enjoyed the race as well as what turned out to be extra $$ in my pocket from backing down the normally allotted wager.

I even took my wife out for nice wine and appetizers as sort of a "victory" celebration with the money I retained from essentially running away on this one.

It's pretty customary for me to only wager on The Kentucky Derby on Derby Day.
