Nothing against wagering services, as I'm sure someone finds value in them, but seeing the Pink Sheets hawkers every day at Saratoga and their claims of "7 WINNERS YESTERDAY!" make me laugh. They fail to mention they give you 4-5 horses per race. The email I got today is even more laughable, when their SEVENTH choice in a field of 10 hits the board they claim they had the superfecta. Read through the "results" for some laughs.

I remember one of the first times I took my wife to Saratoga, we had just walked inside the gate and I was putting away my wallet, form, etc. My wife was watching one of the sheet sellers go through his routine. Anyway, he comes out and says something like "We had a $30 winner in the first and a $400 triple". So, my wife said to him "Your sheet really had those winners?" -- to which he looked at her like she was nuts and said "I don't know, no, of course not, I have no idea what the thing says"
One of those "you had to be there" things. Eric
