They spent $6400, on the ticket. A group of 14 hit it. They had both California Chrome and Arrogate on the ticket.

It has never been doubted that when I am gambling on the horses that I try to make it fun for everyone around me.

Occassionally, I\'ll throw in a Trevor Denman call with the accent at the start of a race with \"And AWAAAAYYYYYYYYYY they GO!\"  Or in the stretch \"They\'d have to sprout wiiingggs to catch him now.\" Or a Tom Durkin \"PHOTO Finish, TOO CLOSE TO CALL\" to keep it fun!  

On Breeders Cup Day, I bought the two hospitality gals at the entrance of our area a 10-4 straight exacta on the Classic early in the day.  All day when I walked by them I asked them if everything was 10-4.  I had to explain the bet to them at some point and what they would be cheering for......their interest was certainly picqued by Classic post time.

Apologies for redboarding here but for storytelling purposes bear with me.  During the Classic, my friend Dave and I were all in for solid scores on Arrogate (Beholder-Arrogate Double Straight and P4\'s more times on Arrogate than Chrome).  Arrogate heard us screaming at North America\'s largest High Def video board because it wasn\'t Smith\'s deft move to the right hand but our screaming that certainly got him to the wire first!  I ran in the door and performed the now famous Bow and Arrow celebration that the NFL has fined and penalized players for this year.  Then the two women were hugging me and thrilled out of their minds over a $10 payout for every $2 worth........one of them told me it was as memorable a day as she ever had at Churchill as no one had ever bought a ticket for her. (Imagine that, the poor guy who sat on Millionaires Row outdid all the big shots that come and go for Oaks, Derby, Night Racing Etc).

As such, I like to have fun!    

As far as the Dancing goes Johnny, it isn\'t for a lack of trying BUT,......Phil Collins said it best.

I have avoided mentioning this - because of redboarding. My friends are not gamblers and I need to tell someone who will understand. I am not in the video but Warren and I were part of the group that won.  It was unbelievable.

Outstanding work. I hope you are in good health and look forward to seeing you at
the Spa 2017 with your golf game intact.

Your post is not even being considered for \"Redboard of the Year\". The leader in
the clubhouse for that dubious honor was posted during BC weekend.

Which post was that?

Paul:

Certainly not one of yours.

It\'s really my OPINION, it is not backed by any empirical data (thus not really
worth discussion) and it is a fictitious award, though it carries a prize of
great value... free lifetime admission to Saratoga TG seminars.

Last years winner, who redboarded a $400 + winner at an Ohio leaky roof track,
accepted the award with good humor, seemingly a precious commodity these days.

You going to look to the East this weekend? The weights in the Red Smith make it
an interesting betting proposition, while the Discovery features a kool aid
sipper special.

Wow Sean!

A Year to Remember for sure!!

You are the Morton Salt Boy of 2016.
\"When it Rains It Pours\"

Are TG figs deductible? You will need a few deductions this year.

Congrats

Bob
