3rd race - Santa Anita Park - January 19, 2006 - RESULTS

10 Wild Storm (CHI) 26.80 10.60 8.00
8 Megec Blis (IRE) 14.20 11.80
6 Madour (CHI) 6.60



BigBlue - picked # 6 to place and it showed :sadcheer:

Ok, I take it that "to show" means 3rd place and "to place" means 1st or 2nd place, right? :scratch:
The reason I'm asking is that in Australia "place" means 1st, 2nd or 3rd, so I'm a bit confoozled :wha:

Final Results


1) Leesifer - 1340.00 + 530.00 + 810.00 = 2680.00

Win - horse needs to win
Place - needs to come in 2nd or Win (corrected)
Show - needs to come in 3rd 2nd or Win (corrected)

You did really well BigBlue2 :yup: I am embarrassed with my performance considering it was my idea. :blush:

Win - horse needs to win
Place - needs to come in 2nd or 3rdShow - needs to come in 3rd In that case you owe me some money for race 3. I backed it for a place and it came in third. (Not that it matters, I won't catch Leesifer).


You did really well BigBlue2 :yup: :thankee:

I am embarrassed with my performance considering it was my idea. :blush: There's always a next time.

That was fun, I will play again. Not to bad for someone who has only went to one dog race and others showed me how to play. That was 20 years ago. Now maybe I can play a little smarter next time. Especially if you post that win, show and place thingie.

Well, obviously picking the lowest odds to win horse (if that's what you call it, looking for the biggest payoff) didn't exactly work. Bummer.

Guess I'm out an imaginary grand.

Crumb

She'll give you another grand next week. (I hope.)

Yes, it was fun... we'll do it again next week :yup:

better luck next week TomJoe & Crumbles (this coming from a person who lost $925.00) :kickcan:

Oh they can keep their winnings. No problem. I think Leesifer should buy us all a round of drinks! :cincin:

Definitely count me in - that was fun.

I used a very secret method of picking my nags.

I'll just convert my remaining cash to quarters and use them for laundry. Oh no wait. That's what I did when I went to Vegas in college. :giggle:
