Making an amateur $6 bet thanks to Equibase's free past performances.
Playing the sport of kings for fun not the mortgage.
All bets are real, so are the losses.
Be welcoming.
Have fun!

It’s hard to get lucky losing, but this is the way to do it.
The heavy 1-5 fav missed the board, and the 20-1 longshot was more than happy to share the place pool.
Prancing Matilda looked strong around the far turn and legged it out to play $7.20 to place.
Glad to be back!

There was no doubting Good Cheer’s closing power, and she proved it yet again.
She even had a past win in the slop.
Will we see her at Pimlico in two weeks?

Kids, don’t believe everything you read.
I admit that I fell for some outside advice on the 8 horse. Should have stuck with my gut.
Oh well.

Quite the inversion of odds. Could have changed my mind, but limited opportunities to get to the window.

Doubled our money.

Finding the best paying show play in a 5-horse field ain’t too shabby.
We’ll try and roll these $9 into something more tomorrow.

Thought about a win-place for about a second then remembered these are all maidens with plenty newcomers.

Low Key got a bad break on the sloppy track and does the field 7 lengths. Stayed on and swung around the pack the have the middle of the track to herself. Tackled Chaching Chaching in the photo.
$3.00 on a Sunday SHOW-down is a nice surprise.
Back again soon.

Pace makes the race!
3 Bal de Mar broke steady and broke well, then used that early advantage to take the shortest trip to the wire.
I doubt she’ll ever see anything longer than 6 furlongs again.
Ring the bell! DING! DING!

4 Welcometohollywood was able to tuck into the rail very early in the backstretch, ran steadily from there, but ran out of gas with 3/16 to go.
Parlay resets tomorrow.
