Please, enlighten me about how they are similar.

The gambler's equivalent of "four legs, a mane, and a tale."

I mostly only lost on Dollar Bill.

No, I'm referring to the Dollar Bill that was 4 for 22 and out of the money in all 3 legs of the Triple Crown.

You're right...he was 4th in the Preakness. I don't know why I thought he was second....and it wasn't even close.

He was still pretty good actually. He found trouble...but so did his rider.

I liked him...I think I bet him when he won at Saratoga and then followed him and bet him throughout the TC. Probably should have won at least a couple more races. I think I had him underneath Point Given in a couple big exactas in both the Preakness and Belmont...I'm almost over those losses...lol!

The take is regular players think horses can close because of the distance. The people in the know say you must be in a stalking position to win the Belmont. Both are right. But don’t waste you’re money on 9+10. Make money with 6+7 tomorrow is closers PARADISE

I will probably regret it but he’s tossed for me, even though I never liked adding the blinkers to begin with.

I have a hard time liking him here. Need to be near front and can’t see him being close enough. Tax is going to be an inclusion for me here as throwout the derby he’s right type to be close enough.
