Default Hard To Beat

A day at the track like today. I can't believe how well I did. I hooked up with two friends who wanted to go to Beulah and bet The Red Mile. So, I intended on doing the same. I get to the track and change my mind, get me a DRF instead. I only bet Belmont. A recap of my day at the windows...............

Race 1
$5 win and place on Gray Mountain
2nd, pays $5.90
A GREAT EFFORT by the way to get 2nd

Race 2
$2 win and $10 place on Ad Me In
2nd, pays $7.90
First time starter and I am defintely waiting on this horse to race again
I also will ALWAYS respect horses owned by the Ramsey's and trained by Dominic Galluscio


Race 3
After Mr Whitestone scratched after the gate incident I just put $5 win on Accountforthegold who was a game second and had the lead enough to really get my juices pumping but Tinseltown was the best. Is Defer ok by the way?

Race 4
I read GPK's thread about this horse and I respect his knowledge of the turf so I bet accordingly, $5 win and place. Horse was a gamer for a second around the final turn but just did not seem to have the right trip? This horse's head seemed to bob up and down a lot, is it just my lack of years in watching races or is that not a good sign?

Race 5
I UNLOAD ON Deputy Indy. Loved the last race at Belmont this horse had. $10win and $20 place
$12.20 and $6.40
Watch the replay of this race, LOVED this effort

Race 6
Was still shaking with excitement about my hit with Deputy Indy
Played $10 win only on Couth
Gate to wire, unreal when this horse kicked it in another gear on the stretch
$7.90

I was done then, sat around and bought a couple rounds.

Thank you Deputy Indy, Gray Mountain, Couth and Ad Me In for a great day at the windows. I have my confidence back after a loonnnnggggggg dry spell. I hit a Pick 4 a couple days back at Belmont, then come back and have another great day like today. Love this, love it.

Curt thats great, but the Ramseys have never owned a horse trained by Dominic Galluscio, so I'm trying to figure out how in the world you arrived at that angle.
The horse was indeed bred by the Ramseys, but is owned by Sequel racing which is what famous and successful pinhooker Becky Thomas races under.

I've had a crazy week at work Curt. Have to go in tomorrow for a bit too, which is rare for me. Tonight its baseball, with just baked chocolate chip cookies and a big mug of warm milk (helps me sleep). Ahhh, life is good.

Congrats on your nice day and I was only busting your nuts. Stay within what you can afford to burn away.

Friendly Island tomorrow
