Locks and longshots for the weekend

[AeWingnut]

no matter what the odds, I will get 1st and 3rd

Giant Oak owes me money - long shot

Regal Ransom is a mortal lock since I'm not betting him

Two locks, both longshots: Redding Colliery (maybe not a longshot when the betting opens) and Friend or Foe.

[AeWingnut]

I have 3-4-5-11

no idea what the stewarts will do but I imagine it will keep me from winning

[AeWingnut]

4-5-3-8

thought it was 11 that ran 5th

o-well

I have the win

Good for you! I'm glad he paid you back and that someone is happy.

I'm not making excuses for my pick.

I do, of course, wonder what the outcome would have been if Kent had had a brain but alas.... it was not meant to be.

I didn't bet Regal Ransom

that is usually enough for any horse to sprout wings...

I made my comments before looking at the PPs
I wasn't planning on betting but did

and $5 WPS helped but I kept playing

so all of my Giant Oak money is gone

time - the gamblers biggest enemy

Saw the race, Giant Oak lost by a head and placed first off a DQ. Still a good call and a ticket cashed.

It wasn't a good call at all. It was a lucky call. I don't expect you to understand the difference.

Happy for the connections.

But while it's tough to argue with the DQ of the winner -- I think it was very easily the right call -- it's also tough to think the original winner wasn't 6 furlongs the best in that race, which I'm guessing from your tone in this thread, you already knew.

Tough crowd.

Give me a "lucky" call that cashes over a "good" call that doesn't anyday.
