FYI....to be fair I dq'ed my second bet. The only way to stop doing dumb things is to learn from your mistakes.🙀

I don't see why you need to do that. The intent of the wager was perfectly clear - there was only one Grand Slam that could be wagered on today's card.

I admire your integrity in calling the penalty on yourself, but I personally think that your wager should be allowed.

Agree w/ JolyB At the window the teller would have said,
"oh you mean Race 7", but you didn't hit it anyway . . . did anybody hit anything???

Yes, RQ did hit hit Grand Slam for a very nice $532.50 for his 25 bet. The GS requires you to finish in the top 3 for the first three legs and then have the winner in the final leg. RQ did this. It's an oddball bet but there are some who like it. It's real beauty is that you can have it multiple times if you make two picks in one leg and both are in the top 3.

from the Equibase charts:
1.00 Grand Slam 3/7/10-1/3/5-2/4/6/7-2 (4
correct)
21.30
