Contest Recap - NTRA/DRF at Trackside

[Scav]

So, today started out unbelievable and ended up horrible. Got there and hit the early double at Philly park for $100, got back 750, then hit Gomez in the opener at Keeneland for a c-note, then hit that chalky 2 at Duct (turf race) for 180...Turned 200 into 1205 in a matter of about an hour, and the friggin contest hasn't even started. Then an iceburg came and I sunk like the titanic, pissed the 1200 back, contest starts. My plays were.....

Keeneland Race 3: #6 Intern - BLAH!!
Hawthorne Race 2 (mandatory): #3 Five Card Monty - BLAH!
Hawthorne Race 3 (mandatory): #3 Harbor Craft - Winner - $33 back
Keeneland Race 4: #1 Divine Park - Winner - $58 back
Hawthorne Race 5 (mandatory): #4 Dancing Saints - Winner - $60 back
Gulfstream Race 6: #2 B.B. Best - BLAH!! (and this one really pissed me off because he looked loaded for bear on the turn)
Keeneland Race 8: #11 Barley Sound - Another that ran well just didnt have it
Gulfstream Race 7: #6 Americanus - BLAH!! (TG angle that didn't pan out)
Gulfstream Race 9: #8 Fly with the Wind - BLAH!!!!!!! This just destoryed me because he looked absolutely loaded and just didn't get any room to run

Hawthorne Race 8: (mandatory)#7 King of the Wind - BECUASE OF THE GOD DAMN TELLER F'N UP MY TICKET
Hawthorne Race 10: (mandatory) #2 Copy Runner - runs a bang up race and gets 2nd at 14/1

All in all I had a horrible day, but that hit from yesterday helps the pain a little bit. I proved to myself that I can hang with some big boys (Rippley was there today), at one point I was in 7th place ($$198 with 5 wagers to go) but I just spit the bit. Confidence builder
