Default Hollywood Park "Just for Fun" contest..

big, I should have put $100 place instead of $100 win on that one in the contest; I'm now scoreless in that thing.

In real life, I put $10 win on the 11, and a $1 exacta back wheel. $18 out, $174.90 in; not bad. I was losing all day too, so that got me ahead.

Heard from Mary Shepherdson at Del Mar, who does a fine job running these contests. They're gonna send me a nice Del Mar logo windbreaker for finishing second in the Santa Anita contest just concluded.

Can't get on the board at Hollywood yet, however.

Yes, got it last week; very nice. Imagine the winner got something out of the gift shop like I did.

Had the favorite (#1) today, and had a 15/1 shot last week, so I'm back in positive territory in the contest. Just held you off at the wire today.
