I came very close to having a huge pick 4 on this past years breeders cup,
i had all in the mile, with round pond and pine island "rip", Belive it or not i had red rocks singled in the turf, and then the classic the biggest mistake of my life i went bernardini and perfect drift. now the thing about this bet is i played it for $4 dollers, it was a $4 pick 4 wheel so even with bernardini it would have been a pretty huge score. it was hard to swallow not using invasor and bernardini it bothered me for 2 weeks, if i went invasor for $4 it would have been huge, i dont remember exactly but i think the pick 4 paid $80,000, and i would have recived that 2 times.

I'm not laughing at you PG1985, I'm laughing with you. So understand that I'm not bashing you here.

They say in the music business, "if you ain't got a hit, you ain't got $h!t." That's probably true.

I figure the same goes when wagering on horses, if you ain't got the winner on your ticket, darlin', you ain't got $h!t. I don't care how good your choices were on the rest of your ticket. It don't matter. I repeat, it just don't. Not all the IFs on Earth are gonna change that.

In other words, IF A FROG HAD WINGS HE WOULDN'T BUMP HIS @$$ SO MUCH!

The "I was close losers" horseplayers have ripped, could wrap around this Earth, end to end, a blue million times, and they'd still simply be LOSERS.

You don't want to dwell on those, they bring about mental illness.
