What? Why not bring a minimum of $10k on a day like this?

1. Take what you can afford to lose.
2. Bet to win. Or modest p-3's. Or Exacta boxes keying your horse.
3. Don't bet to place or show. Ever.
4. Make sure that you bet the horses you really like to win. You can go 3x3x3 all day long playing p-3s on your dudget, But just make sure that you have the $$ to bet $20 or $30 to win on the two or three horses you like the best on the card.
5. It's a great day of racing, but that doesn't mean you are compelled to play every race.
6. Conversely, don't be scared to toss a few $$ at two or three 20-1+
shots in a few races.
