Charlie,

What do you do when you handicap well and still get beat? I'm sure everyone is aware that Flavien Prat got Dq'd in The National Racing Hall Of Fame Race. Riding a horse named Zulu Kingdom. That horse was a monster and I singled him in the last leg of my pick 5. Only to get Dq'd and cost me almost $1,000 bucks. I have been at a low boil since that day. I did hit a pick 5 last week.But after all the scratches it paid under $400 bucks. Then this past weekend I got beat on a non Dq! Frustrating game at times. But somehow I manage to bounce back and play again. I take comfort in knowing that I am spending less than $40 bucks on a solid horizontal. And that is a testament to knowledge and wisdom that elders in the room like yourself has passed on to young guys
[im 50} like myself. lol! I will be back posting again. All the best gents!
