Wow, I thought JolyB had that. Turns out he bet Oaklawn instead of Gulf. My mistake. It's a very confusing day with so many races from two different venues.

I thought samething. I was about to congratulate on massive hit and then realized it was Oaklawn instead of Gulfstream.

Given my customary style of wagering, it would be very unlikely for me to have a monster hit like that. But I appreciate your even thinking that it was possible. I can still dream.

For a minute there, I thought you made the play of the century. Still a very nice play.

Two tracks make my head hurt

I don't mind playing two tracks, but maybe less races would have been better. Even though I think we should try to play all races that might affect the Kentucky Derby Day like The Arkansas Derby and even the Fantasy, I could have done without the rest of the card at Oaklawn. The problem with Oaklawn to me is that there is no turf and I know that some of our players like to play those races and we have some that like to play maiden races and we have some that like multi-race bets so, to that end, I would have played most of the races at Gulf with a couple from Oaklawn or maybe just the Arkansas Derby with Gulf.

All that said, it was still a fun day and a good distraction from the real world, albeit fleeting.
