Kev, not to take anything away from Junior College, but Rush Bay broke down shortly after the wire (torn suspensory ligament), I think it's safe to say it may have caused him to slow down the last 100 yards or so.

Now getting back to the title of this thread, the reason I may be giving up the game:

Yesterday, had 8 out of 11 winners at Monmouth Park... still took an ass-kicking! The winners of the last 2 races were completely unplayable by my handicapping methods. The other race I lost, was the most important of the day, the final leg of what would have been a 4 figure pick four, and a 3 figure pick 3. If it weren't for bad luck the last 2 weeks, I'd have no luck at all

If you are serious about a break from the action, I would strongly recommend staying away from all things associated during that break. Lots of triggers.

Triggers meaning things that will get your attention and possibly cause you to dive back in. Such as drf.com, the track etc etc..

Very hard to do.

I would love to hear how you managed to turn 8 out of 11 winners into an ass kicking. Details please...

A quick rundown, because if I relived it in complete detail I might shoot myself

, but I'm not disciplined enough to just play my "main" track. So for every winner I had at Monmouth, I matched with losers at CD, Belmont, and Delaware (Delaware???). And none of the winners at Monmouth were over 4-1, which is the way Monmouth runs, which is why I stop playing Monmouth every year after opening day... and my 2-1's became 7-5 during the race.. but that's another story

1st race at Monmouth is a perfect example, as I posted, I came in to the race loving the 4 horse, with the 7 horse as my second...well when it comes time to bet, I start looking at the 2, and then the 3, who is 25-1... so I end up playing 4-7 for $2 lousy, stinkin dollars

...(fighting back tears)... I can't continue this

Not life threatening, but he is definitely retired.

No sh1t.

Scav channeling AJ on Sopranos. I'm hoping Vito Jr isn't next.

Taking a break won't help. Figuring out how betting $100 p-3's and straight $100 Ex's at Cal-Expo fit into his overall lifestyle might be better.

Let's all celebrate and go run a dozen red lights.
