The day the music died... where were you?

[jms62]

I was out to dinner at Mori Moto's in Philly. I left dinner and my party to go to a bar across the street and watched. Pandemonium when Smarty took the lead that turned into stunned silence. I however was estatic as I had boxed 4-9-6-5 in the Superfecta and was looking at a huge payday. I waited forever for the result but alas it wasn't coming from NBC and I had to get back to dinner. I threw a hundred of my soon to be new wealth on the bar and told the bartender to use it till it was gone on my disappointed Philly friends. I returned triumphently back to Mori Moto's only to meet Mori Moto himself as he was making the rounds and had stopped at our table. I had him bring me a bottle of Dom Perignon and I raised a toast Nick Zito who hit with a 36/1 and 27/1 shot.. Enjoyed a wonderful dinner and made the long journey back home. Ran upstairs to log in and see how much my account had grown, was it 20 K, 30 K or more.... Alas there was no additional coin in my account? WTF was there a mistake? Was the system down??? I logged into Equibase and brought up the results... **** YOU Jerry ****ING Bailey and the horse your rode in on ****ing Eddington... A Nose a ****ing Nose and **** you NBC, if you'd given me the result in a timely fashion I wouldn't have bought those losers a round and would've saved a couple hundred on the Dom... Other than that, dinner was great.

I was at home celebrating. I hit every exotic bet and that was my 14th winner in a row that day.

No seriously I hit the exacta and had a few dollars on Birdstone because of his mudder ped.

Plus I hated Smarty Jones. His name alone was not deserving of a Triple Crown.
