Well, I grew up in Saratoga and my dad and sister owned horses. When it was a 24 day meet I was there everyday. Now just a few times a year.

I would love to learn more about betting horses.

I've dabbled a few times while in Vegas with the help of the guys at the window.

Where can I read the basics?

Always had to take a drink of that spring water.

HAHAHAHAHA that water is terrible. every time we bring someone to the track for the first time, we convince them that it's the saratoga tradition and they have to try it.

i hit all 11 races at GP yesterday, but it was pretty chalky. seemed like i had a longer-priced horse closing almost every race, but never quite got there. including a 16-1 shot that would have really bumped up my pick 6 payout. pretty sick to hit the pick 6 and only make $360.

are you trying to embalm yourself? :)

we had dinner up in your neck of the woods last night - harvest and hearth. pizza place right on the lake.

palmetto - yeah, 3 reasons it paid so little. 1) i only had it for 20 cents. 2) GP only pays half the pool unless there's only one winning ticket. 3) it was so damn chalky. i think the longest price all day was 4-1.

it sucks because i keep thinking about those longshots i had that came in second.... i don't know if it would have been enough to give me the only winning ticket (the pool was over $400K), but it sure would have given me a MUCH larger payout.

still i can't complain. that's the 2nd pick 6 i've hit in 6 months. now if i could just hit it on may 5....
