I know it's a stretch!
I have a win ticket...... Of course I have a losing ticket on the other 19 that I bought to hand out at my derby party... Pretty much the only way I'd play that horse.

Agreed, but today is the day that everyone plays. And for many of those people who don't usually play and have friends or family that are born on August 16th. They are all laughing to the bank thinking this is the greatest game in the world.
