January Winds Down - A New Week

The day started with disappointment when I discovered my "BET of the DAY" had scratched in the 4th race.  

And as it turned out, this probably cost me a profit on the day, albeit a small profit.  Starship would have probably gone off at 1/5, but that would have earned me a $6 profit, and for the day I was down a mere $5!  It's the little things.  Of the five selections I had left on the card I ran second once, third THREE times, and in the next to last pick on the day I had my lone winner.  But in the ninth, a turf sprint, my pick, Skylander, was allowed to go off at 3/1.  He had pressed an extrememly wicked pace last out, and if he ran to those fractions he looked to alone on the lead today.  He was, and he was gone wire-to-wire.  The $40 collection covered all but the last minimum wager on the day.  Tomorrow we finish off the month of January ...... anxious to add up the numbers!
