Anybody make money????????

I boxed Musket Man with all, I want to puke. I also boxed 5 longshots who I though were all poly horses and ended getting the 7 and 8 in there. So I had 8-2 8-7. I cringe evertime I watch those 3 hit the wire for second. I cringe even more when I watch the head on and see POTN crush both of them.

A friend of mine had $4 left on his voucher after playing lucky numbers, and put it on a 50-1 horse to win. Mine that Bird. He is convinced that handicapping doesn't work.

I bet $200 win POTN and $2 back wheel in the exacta. Sometimes you just get lucky

I had #24 in the last future pool @ 17-1 for a duece.....my buddy "backwheel" POTH in the exacta for a buck & Rodger Wyland of "Big Board Sports" WNYT channel 13 the NBC affiliate in Albany NY had $2.00 WPS on MTB because he had a bird nest outside his house.....true story!

I was alive to several horses in the Oaks / Woodford / derby Pick three and Oaks / derby double and figured I would feel like an idiot if one of my top selections finished second and I didn't collect a dime so I played an $1 exacta All / 6,11,16.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy as hell I cashed but I did pick Mine that Bird (see the bookend contest thread) to finish last so it is a "hollow victory" and you just don't get the same satisfying feeling as though you handicapped it well.

Not a penny here, Had a $100.00 Double with Rachel and POTN, also a 20 exacta box Pioneer/Musket Man, Not to worry, I will get them at Pimlico
