Todays the kind of day I feel like going home and put on an entire box of Ellios on, turning off all the lights and watch Vanilla Sky.

Tombstone is my jumpoff.

Oh, I know! And it's not like Sbarro's is even good pizza! No offense to those who like it, but NYC has some good pizza places, though I still bow down before Chicago's pizza supremacy.

More kudos for the thread start.


One thought I have in retrospect having read the posts here is that I think I really started enjoying my realtime time at the track when I realized that laying off races was part of the ideal strategy. In races w/o action, I really enjoyed the paddock, the sights, the smells, etc.

If I'm at the track live, I rarely watch the TV wagering action. If I do play other tracks than the realtime one, I select only one track....and usually for just a couple plays.

I go to the track with a couple serious plays in mind, but do seek some fun "action" as the day goes on. For lesser bucks.
