Sounds like fun, if you maintain moderation. I was at Santa Anita recently. (One of my partners owns horses). Had a nice afternoon. The third race was a hoot. One of my other partners and I were following the recommendations on a tip sheet. I can't recall the names of the horses, but in the 3rd race, the numbers were 4, 5 and 6. He decided that 5 was the horse to bet most heavily on. I chose 6. I played a 6/4 and 4/6 Exacta. He played 5/6 and 6/5. All 3 horses were in the money, but here's what happened. First, it's a photo finish between 6 and 5. He's insisting that 5 won as we wait for the verdict. I told him I thought it was 6. And 6 it was. So, he's thinking he still won, when there is a steward's inquiry about the behavior of 5. We wait, wait, wait. I'm giggling since I have a feeling what was going to happen... and it did. Final outcome: 6, 4 and 5. mph--the big winner!<g> Very positive. Goes to show how positive thinking can even affect horse races..... M
