Referring to your note about seconds and thirds, I had a similar experience
years ago at SP-PK. I was in 5 photo finishes out of a 9 race card and lost
all of them. None of my horses were chalk, thank goodness i wagered WIN-PLACE. I didn't lose any money, but my underwear was wringing wet LOL
I felt like i had worked 2 (8) hr shifts. It's rough.! Those photos can be button poppers. LOL
