Hey all...
Won $8 on Personal Ensign day, resulting in a $4 profit on the meet. HOWEVER...
I got greedy. I managed to squeeze in another trip on Sunday, and it was horrible. In one of the races (Ham Sandwich was the winner.), my exacta ran 3-4, and both horses were within a length of the winner. I had at least two more exactas which finished either 1-3 or 2-3. Only cashed one lousy ticket (Orientate-$5.00), and I lost $15. This translates into an $11 loss on the meet.
This goes to show you that while the track may provide opportunities and temptations, it may be best to quit while you're ahead. Anybody agree?
