I guess justice is served. The 7 horse scratched. So the teller says he gets the 8 and the 8... ? since the 8 is the favorite anyway. Which does not make sense to me. I guess he gets two tickets if the 8 wins...The 5 horse wins, which is the next favorite behind the 8. I figured they would give him this horse since he payed for a horse that was not in the race.

Anyways; Now the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat is realized. The pick 3 paid 667 bucks on a 2 dollar bet and he had 50 bucks on it. OUCH.

Ya got it. Thanks for letting me bug you. Hopefully my relatives do not go back to Vegas any time soon. I wish he would just stick with the college football. Or give me ample warning about his intentions to bet horses at least 20 minutes before he has to rid himself of the burning cash in his pockets. Thank God I had looked over Santa Anita yesterday and had you today. Thanks much. I would have been climbing the Mountain blind.
