Our First Two Selections Won...
Friday, May 21 we had 5 Selections.
The First 2 Won so we had a profit more than enough to give us the last selection on the house.
Laura Beasley was the horse.She was entered in the 8th Race at Hollywood Park.
Unfortunately for us, Fridays are evening racing starting at 7:00 PM, PDT meaning 10 PM, EDT. In other words, 1:30 in the AM for her race.
Yes, we stayed up and had her in the late doubles and a nice Win bet as well. She was bet down to 9/2. A fair enough price to stay up for.
Now the punch line.. while loading the horses into the starting gate,the last horse acted up, banged her head on the starting gate and was Scratched..of course it was Laura Beasley. Funny now, a bit annoying then, but as they say, "'That's Horse racing".
Memorably,
Michael Todd
