Hardly. Your good fortunes that have befallen you are truly legendary.

I assure you, the core group of people I routinely went to the track with, day in and day out, for well over 10 years, not one had even one stroke of luck of the type that is seemingly almost routine with you.

Personally, it took over twenty years of playing horses before I got put up in a DQ for the first time, as opposed to the dozens of times I was taken down. Of course, the one time it did happen, I was just fooling around as I put the last $3 in my Youbet account on some 7/2 shot.

You really should survey people at the track, or on here, and see just how rare accidental $3600 superfectas are.

As DT poster Ogygian can tell you - my superfecta tickets are typically pretty complicated and sometimes involve a lot of numbers and oddball strategies like keying a horse to finish 3rd.

He knows this because he has a habit of coming up behind me in line when I'm punching them out and saying stuff like "Just use them all. All, all, all, all. God there are a lot of numbers"

I hardly ever use "all" by the way - not even in the 4th slot where I might use 10 or 11 of the 12 if one or two are so hopeless they can't even muster a 4th.

Do you remember that time Pit (not PIP) left off that Frankel/Juddmonte invader out of his P6, and that horse won, costing him the P6? No winning tix that day and the carryover was about 250-300k.

This from the biggest Frankel/Juddmonte fan on the planet.

Whatever happened to him? Still a Corporate lawyer in Minnesota?

Looks like refunds on Woodbine's 4th from TVG.

The know-nothing chick just had another classic. Race 6 at Woodbine, #5 is a late gate scratch. So there is a slight delay. Instead of backing everyone out and moving the numbers. The 5 hole is left open.

She goes up in arms about it, calls it cheating and such and such. Doesn't she know that this happens ocassionally on the NYRA circuit.
