shit. horse #4. No run. 3/5 favorite beat though. It would of been nice for the example to catch the winner. Anyway, I'm on to Cincinnati. ( race 6 )
I like doubles... I think I saw the Double pool for race 4 was $27K , the Show pool as $20,000. It looks like Doubles are not the big bet they used to be.
"He's betting the Double" was an old Boston neighborhood expression to say someone is doing well. You had to be at the track in them days, so if someone was so situated they could be at Suffolk at 1:00 they were doing well. Self-employed, Union Boss, Gangsters... only the top guys could be trackside during working mans hours.
Most guys that wore work boots to work were not at the Track at 1:00 in them days..
