Default ROI Results 5/20 @ Pimlico

Let's start the Preakness recap this way. Zippy posted last week, "Thanks for scoring Pete
....try to get some more for you to do on Preakness Day!!!". Now I don't know what Zippy has
against me but
his words sure made me work harder this week than I ever have. 11 bets were cashed. It was
almost a clean sweep with everyone cashing a ticket except for Cruzan and he just missed by a
neck. Cal won both of his pick 3's and missed profitability. Joly B, Zippy and myself all showed
a profit but missed the points board. Indian Hemp takes the super spot with a $100 win bet on
National Treasure. Ruffian gets the show spot with a win bet in race 9 on Cheetera who paid $34.
It's rare that Ruff picks a big price horse and doesn't win but she ran into two buzzsaws at the
mutuel window. Digger put $200 on National Treasure and returned to the barn $580 to the good.
Normally that's a win but DonGuido has other ideas. DG played a $33 trifecta and got almost
$800 back which gave him the win. Nicely played Don and a nice call on your National Treasure
key. Following are the unofficial results pending any errors on my part of which I make my fair
share. Let me know if you spot one and if not I'll see you next week at the post of the point
winners choice.

As you said RQ, sometimes you get chicken and sometimes you get feathers, It's about time I got some chicken . . . I was getting pretty hungry. The DG forum contest plate has been pretty empty this year . . . so far!?

I think that was the horse racing equivalent of "all in" in the game of Texas Hold 'em by several of our players. Poetic justice that it was a Texas player that came out on top. Very well played. I think everyone in the universe knew that Baffert's horse would win, it was just a matter of which tool in the toolbox to use to take maximum advantage.

I for one tried to use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail.

Personally, my vision is so dim, I couldn't find my toolbox. I think Obi-Don-Kenobi used his light saber to find his.

Cal, I did put new batteries in my light saber last week and RQ, I have driven nails with a wrench before but never a screw driver?!

Why uses a fly swatter when a hand grenade will do the job better? So far haven't used a screwdriver for nails, but pretty sure have used a crow bar. I have no talent for creation, but destruction comes easy.
