LOL. Well due to the fact that I bet on just about every horse in the race, my winnings from my Giacomo bet amount to about breaking even. If Afleet Alex would have finished second, then I would be ahead. Oh well, at least I get my money back.

Ha ha! I recycle cans twice a year, then go to the satellite joint. I used to bet all the longshots, and always lost it all and then about 30 more. So now I just bet horses that are between 6 and 12-1. Then I break even and curse myself for not picking longshots.
Not me! I won $500!! YAYAYAY!!!
Actually, I placed a Trifecta Box ($2.00) bet for Afleet Alex , Belamy Road and Bandini (for myself). I also placed a $5.00 WIN bet for Alex Afleet.
For my mom, (her picks), I placed a $2.00 Trifecta Box bet for Sun King, Giacomo and Closing Argument.
While I was at the OTB, I also decided - at the spur of the moment - to place a longshot bet for her - hoping that I'd get a decent payout as an extra Mother's Day gift if it came in. I chose to place a $10 WIN bet on Giacomo.
The rest is history. It was AWESOME!! We had our drinks and were watching the race screaming "Go Baby Go" (I can't help it!!) and at the end of the race I said to Mom: "You won!!"<[> My Mom hadn't bet on Giacomo to WIN so I told hewr: "Oh, I decided to bet on him to WIN as a Surprise! Happy Mother's day!!"
It was great!! So Besides the cute little butter holder (to keep butter soft and fresh at room temp.) I already got her - I also got to give her $500!! : )
Thanks Giacomo and Mike Smith! ;)
I so love horse racing! I can't wait till the Preakness!
