The P-4 came back $2,785.

I have trouble getting 3 winners in a row. The rolling pick 3s are killing me. I seem to be able to get the first 2 then get beat in the last leg which is the 2nd of my other pick 3 and the 1st leg of the other. No matter what the payouts. Get beat up and give up.

Churchill was as simple as betting the 2 horse. Hit a nice $56 pick 3 with all extremely short priced horses. But being a $2 better I didn't really apitalize on it.

Back to my Calder tri.. it was really just an exacta because the winner was a mortal lock. I think the other short priced horses were short because there are people that bet the M/L
