Traditionally, I have never won any of them - not the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness or the Belmont Stakes. Whether this is due to my penchant for ALWAYS betting the grey horse and in lieu of one, a name that appeals to me or just plain bad luck.
Yesterday was different. I bet the grey horse and he came in second, just where I'd put him. I put down $2 to Place; he did and the payback was $3.50.
Granted, this is not how great racing fortunes are built.
But American Pharoah went off at 5 to 3 and to a Degenerate Gambler, those odds are just as good as buying a house and only being allowed to use the front porch. Worthless, in short.
'Tis a small victory - I'd be the first to say it, but 'tis mine. God love ya, Frosted.
