I have no plans for it right now.

I've been to several Ohio Derby's... but here's my best Thistle story.

When I was 16 I took a job as a bus-boy at a steakhouse with a friend in the Mall.

The week I was hired, I worked my second or third ever shift on a Friday. That day, I dropped two gel tabs of acid at the lunch table in high school. Even though I was still tripping through it, my shift went fine.

Other than the fact that I was not only eating food off of peoples plates... but playing with it. At one of the tables I was supposed to be cleaning, I sat down and was spinning onion rings around on my finger before I'd dip them and eat them. A few of the waitresses got annoyed with me, but I don't think they had idea why I was so smiley.

The next day was a Saturday with a lot of major Derby preps. I had my grandma call in sick for me at the steakhouse -- and I talked my father and grandfather into going to Thistle Downs instead of the simulcast parlor here.

My career as a bus boy lasted about 3 or 4 shifts and less than one week.

330-for-928 (35.56% wins) and $1.78 ROI -- they did pretty darn well.

Canterbury was 179-for-436 (41.06% wins) and a North American best $1.89 ROI

Do you have the favorites' ROI for all tracks combined?
