Dude, the tri was a cinch!

Always take the longest shot in the second spot, and if there's a horse at just about 1/2 that price, you take him in the first spot. 3/5 third.

duh.

Loser. You obviously walked out after the first half of the seminar on trifectas and superfectas. The superfecta was a cinch. You employ the above strategy, and then put the third choice in the fourth spot. I would have hit the tri and super if I had known that Uncle Mo wasn't running in the Tampa Bay Derby.

I didn't want to rub it in too much, but yeah, you are right.

It's too bad no one told you about Mo going at GP today!

It is too bad he didn't run in the Tampa Bay Derby. The payoffs would have been much higher.

83 Beyer for the top pair in the Tampa Bay Derby...

And for Wyomia in the Suncoast as well.
