I was almost getting desperate to wear it last summer, so I started taking more and more chances as the meet wore on, and of course when I finally earned the right some annoying horse got an absolutely dream trip to photo my two horses and cost me a fortune. So there I am, getting buried in general, taking an annoying beat, and having every Tom, Dick and Harry breaking my balls around the racetrack and town for the rest of the day and night.

But....It's a tradition like none other. So if you're willing to take one for the team, it's all in good fun in the end.

It's absolutely all in good fun.....and if I never wear it then it loses its appeal.

Good luck to everyone today. Right now, in rural upstate, NY it's 44 degrees, so it's got to be much warmer down in Aqueduct. Great hit yesterday Hooves on the SA play you made. That's awesome. Going to change strategy a little today and make some pick-3 plays. Made a little over 1,200 two years ago on Super Bowl Sunday, so hopefully I can get the Karma going today. Later

Let's hope the Patriots have bad Karma!

Sounds like everyone had a great time at your expense, sorry I missed it. So if Ty's Ridge is your Dunce cap horse who are the legitimate contenders, other than the favorite?

I know you don't like sharing your opinions before the race (which i respect) so I'll understand if there is a long delay before you reply.

Gonna punch a $1AB ticket and see what happens. Hope to get 2 prices.

Good Luck!

Holland Hacker · #9 02-03-2008, 02:23 PM

Good Luck Pat!

I think I'm going to play the following tickets:

Pick 4:
9,10 / 2,9 / 1,5 / 2,3,7,8 = $32 3 of 4 Barn Skpa
2,9,10,12 / 2,9 / 1,5,7 / 3,8 = $48 (Come on Dunce Cap) 3 of 4 Darn Skpa - At least I backed it up with a Pick 3 to lessen the blow.

Pick 3 starting race 7:

2,3,9 / 1,5,7 / 2,3,7,8 = $36

Good Luck! Curious to see how this #13 looks on the board...

pmacdaddy · #11 02-03-2008, 02:47 PM

Subbing #13 for #10 in 6th...Hope you're right Nick...

Didn't run a step, but the 10 didn't hurt us. 9 was solid here.

Take a stab on Super Sunday

9,10,12/1,3,5/1,5/1,2,3,5,8,10 = 108

pmacdaddy · #14 02-03-2008, 04:00 PM

Got $2 to the 3,4. Buck to 2,7. Will pays are not bad.

Come on #4!!! ($3.288).

Dunce Cap fell off my final ticket. If he wins, I may need to borrow...

Wow, you let that guy talk you off the 8?

pmacdaddy · #16 02-03-2008, 04:24 PM

Not really...had him as B and downgraded to C to keep some kind of budget.

On to the Superbowl.

You post that trash to rub it in on a guy who just took a lousy beat? What a sad dude you are.

Ronnie, pmac and I respect Andy's opinion tremendously. In the long run, he is right more than he is wrong and finds prices. Personally, I appreciate his opinion and if I take a tough beat from time to time I can easily live with it.
