I wagered that General Admission tickets might be a good angle to just get in the door of the 2008 Breeders' Cup. It turned out I was way correct. Full access to the paddock and birds eye views up close from anywhere I wanted to be inside the racing surface all day long. Or the apron. Or standing in The Grandstand. The bad was I had my worst day of wagering in maybe the last decade. I NEVER bet every race when I go to a track. On that day though, I did. The only ticket I collected was on a hunch bet my wife had... that I thought had a chance. By that race I was already playing on my heels and fortunately just bet "Square Eddie" nicely to place. Which he did. I left a loser at the windows for the day, but I was happy I was at The Breeders' Cup for less than $20 a seat, and parking had been a breeze. I usually budget to play with about $300 a day, but on that particular occasion I think I lost about $500 at the windows. I chalked my wagering losses up to $$ sort of well spent. The weather was hot, but beautiful...and the cerveza was muy frio..

I think 2005 was my best year ever capped off by hitting the trifecta in the Classic.
A few lean years in there followed that from '06 - '08. Last year was also a good year for me, with one BIG exception. I had a good day wagering on Saturday (Friday not so much) made some cash and then logged on to DT to discover that my capping had been good enough to win the DT contest! That was kind of cool, and people were congratulating me on a great day and everything....I was feeling good. And then.... Somebody realized that a mathematical error had been made and I had actually placed second in the contest....not first. That would have been okay....until I discovered who the real winner was.....http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...t=32594&page=5
