JOLY

🏇 THANKS … BUT NO THANKS 😊

AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY WIN 🏆 BETS ONLY 💰

THEY HAVE REWARDED ME OFTEN OVER THE YEARS

ESPECIALLY SARAVA IN BELMONT @ 70/1 🙀
I was at a private turf club that year and the only person
Standing at the pay window when it was over

Although nobody there was surprised 🙄

Because every time a GRAY or LONGSHOT Won
I could hear the Men in the room Mumbling….
“ O Lady Cat Probably Has That! “

If it ain't broke and so forth, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did well with exotics. You always seem to do pretty well in the points contest which would seem to indicate that you might do equally well as an exotics player, but we all do what seems the most comfortable to us and really there doesn't seem to be much deviation from that for most of us. For myself, I often get a little perturbed with myself for not recognizing that a different sort of play sometimes presents an opportunity, but of course that is in hindsight. Everything is always crystal clear from that vantage point.

HERE IS WHY NOT

POINTS WINS ARE BASED ON CHALK
MY WIN BETS ARE ALWAYS 12/1 MINIMUM

One time at the Turf Club
Where I went every Saturday all day and played five tracks

13 is my favorite number and one Saturday on the 13th
So that day I broke my traditional bets

Did 1/3 = 13 EXACTAS ALL DAY
It finally paid off at the end of the day
Reaffirming 13 is my favorite number

That's an interesting story, but I'm not sure what it has to do with betting the chalk. If you bet 1 and 3 in every race, I'm pretty sure you probably had more than a few long shots, but maybe not as long as you might have wanted.

It has nothing to do with CHALK

It had to do with my only playing WIN ONLY

Yeah because it was the 13th
I decided early on that day to do 13 exacta

Sounds to me like you had a successful day playing exactas. You hit one. Do you hit something every time you play in this contest? Also, I'm not sure that anyone should decide that they can't do something based on one attempt to do it. I'm sure that we all have a lot more failure than success in our contest, but we keep on trying. Also, on what you said about chalk in the points contest, don't say that out loud. Lots of people enjoy that contest and look on it as a pretty big accomplishment and maybe it is because it's fairly hard to win over the course of a year.

CAL

I must admit
I went every Saturday and 99% of the time
I came home with more money than I started with

That was based upon my BETS on
GRAYS + LONGSHOTS
