If it were me, I'd play Dunkirk to show and set the $315 aside for a later play on the Ashland, or even the Kentucky Derby...

What ever the wager pays, if the horse pays $6.00 to win = $900

I'd totally be cool with walking away w/ 320.00 and then pissing it away on P4's at Tampa

Show bet Dunkirk or QR

Why is Dunkirk a cinch to run 3rd?

lets see... betting $300 into a race where either Dunkirk or Quality Road most likely win at less than 2-1, or taking that $315 to bet a race worth betting??

Oh wait it was a fischer post , nevermind...

Do you have to make one bet....or bet on only one horse?

If not, and all you really want is a few bucks to bet the other races, why not make three $100 show bets, where you will at least get some money back.

Well, it's already been determined that I've gotten really sad, so why not just throw in the towel.

If it's any consolation - I thought you were knocking down some nice short range jumpers earlier today.

Thanks.

I thought the Swale comment was a 360 windmill slam dunk.....but then again, being as I've gotten sad and all, maybe I overestimated that one as well.

Hossy's keyboard cuts like a knife. Mortimer is still curled up in the fetal position.
