SOOOO Close To Finish February
Wednesday - Thursday February 27-28
I was so very close to adding a big financial boost to the month as the week started, but it was not to be. It was a stormy day on Wednesday and I lost all but two of my selections. I won with the first one (no photo, sorry!) when Manly was much the best. I had doubled the bet and he went off at even money in a 3-lifetime sprint. In my only other investment I missed with Longer Terms Doug who was bet down from 3/1 to 7/5 at post time and was an even third. The weather cleared and on Thursday I had a "Bet of the Day" in the third race, with another play in the 4th. So I decided to get out of the house and drive down for an hour, then I'd make my other five bets and watch at home.....we had Panther tickets so I didn't want to stay and press my luck. I had no longer walked in when I discovered the horse I'd come to see, my "BET of the Day" had scratched. Wow......So I cashed my tickets from Saturday and collected over $100 :)
And then I made my bets.....and settled into a box seat to watch the "other race" I'd come to see. Frolic's Revenge was a good 5/1 and was a close third. I headed home with four tickets in hand. I'm telling you I must be so paying for the run of winners recently because I was oh-so-close in all four. Three seconds and a third! Three of the four were leading with a 16th of a mile to go and the other was flying at the finish....sigh.....two in particular were price plays and would have added $135 to my total for the month. Even just one of them would have been nice.
Still, my month statistics were good:
And now we move into March and look forward to the Florida Derby at the end of the month!
