ROI Results 1/11 @ Gulfstream

[Real Quiet]

Gulfstream on Saturday did not give up many winning wagers. One to be exact. None the less
it was a spirited contest with a few players making serious runs at the winner. Don missed with
an exacta as did Real Quiet in a photo. Roamin finished a strong second with Gidu and Ruffian
showed she has not lost her longshot edge with a $14 place horse. Indian Hemp, Joly, NJ
Stinks and Plenilune could only watch. This weeks winner was the red hot Cal. He hit a $38
exacta in race 7 and successfully held off the challenges that came and went. Congrats on the
win Cal, last week the Bridesmaid and this week the Groom. Nicely played and double congrats
on your Points / ROI sweep. Following are the unofficial results pending any objections. See
you all next week as the Triple Crown Trail heads out to Louisiana.

Well maybe I've learned something after 40 or 50 years of playing this game, but I hesitate to say that for fear of jinxing myself and going 20 races or so without a score as I know I am capable of doing. Who knows? Maybe I'll have a decent year. I think I've already equaled my win record of last year, but that was pretty easy to do since I only had 3.

It's funny, I always fantasize about passing whatever racing knowledge I have on to my 16 and 18 year old grandsons, but they could care less. Not that they don't like going to the races, but they just don't have the patience required. I went to Oaklawn with them last year, after about a 10 year absence, and they were so impatient they were ready to go by the 4th race.
