Could've played it differently doesnt even begin to explain it. Hell, Munnings and Kensei were my top two picks of the day, yet I still managed to hit the pick 3 starting with race 10. I found out last year, that setting a budget before looking at the sequence to determine how much it would take to hit, is a disaster. No if, ands, or buts about it.

Wow, just rub salt in his open wound. Hit him in the head with a 2 by 4. Stab him in the ankle with a rusty nail.

I don't understand why you would have Music Note as an "A" and Tar Heel Mom a "B" if you liked THM more.

The bottom line is that you made a seemingly rational decision before the race and that's all you can do. You used the horse that you liked better and made a play that fit into your bankroll constraints. If you weren't thinking or just did something stupid then you'd be justified in being upset, but there's no point in second guessing yourself after the fact in this case.

When I first started playing a lot my friend and I would look back at cards on big days and discuss how much we would have had to have spent to hit the PK4 or PK6 or whatever. We'd get so upset because things seemed so clear and simple after the fact, but then I realized how worthless something like that is. You can learn from past mistakes and omissions, but every second you waste thinking about past defeats is a second you could be spending doing something productive or profitable. Just turn the page and move on to the next race.
