I think there is somthing in the song about "somebody bet on the grey," but in my case, I bet two dollars on Giacomo in honor of my late grandma, who would only bet on the gray horse. She swore by this method of handicapping. It paid off for me today :-)

Are you serious? If this is actually true, I will buy you something valued at $10 on ebay to pay *homage* to you. Or maybe you should buy me something!

LOL! No - in the song "De Camptown Races" its "Somebody bet on the BAY" - a deep brown horse! Still at 50:1 I think I'll go with the grey horse next time.
PS: I put down $125 on Dubya at Tradesports early on 11/04 and made about $600 - I figure from Soros. See you at the Preakness? ;-)
