Yeah and it's definitely five rattlers when they show you the losing ticket and they have every horse in the race boxed but the winner.

I use five different colored pens to seperate different information....

Blue for the initial run through

Red for replay/trip notes

Green for Formulator info

Light Blue for breeding

Purple for final notes

Don't you throw that stuff away at the Spa?

I have evolved FAR beyong using different color pens.

I now apply flourescent paint with a Taco Bell Chilupa wrapper to my Racing Form in my specially designed laboratory.

I then study the results under a black light while speaking on the phone with Mystic Zelda, just in case something isn't crystal clear.

And the best is that when they do that, it's almost always to something completely benign.

They've managed to highlight something like a horse's career earnings.

Say, in a Mcl10000 race at Hawthorne, a few first-time starters and lightly raced horses with no earnings compete against a horse with a career line something like this 29-0-0-4 $14,128

Then they can redboard that one when it finally gets a win at 35-1 after running off the board 10 straight times.
