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!

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.

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.

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!
