![]() Fair Grounds was the place to be on Saturday for most of our contest players. If it wasn't a
record for cashed tickets and players in the plus column it had to be darn close. 10 winning bets were made with most tickets over $100. 7 players showed a profit. Joly B, Real Quiet and Indian Hemp all showed a profit but missed getting any points. Cal takes the show spot with $20 worth of trifecta tickets which he cashed for $275. Cruzan cruzed into the super slot with a $25 win bet on Illogical Myth in the 9th. At least to me it seemed illogical but thats why I'm in the bottom looking up. Ruffian takes the number two place spot with wagers that I had to check and double check. Ruff put $26 on Logical Myth in the 9th and edged Cruzan out by betting a dollar more. Ruff's horse was only 9-1 which is definitely an oddity for the longshot seeking filly. To Ruff thats almost akin to betting on a favorite. The thing that really had me double checking was that Ruffian only wagered $90. I have never known Ruff to not wager every dollar she has. The big winner this week was Don Guido. DG put it all on Archidust in the 7th and the resulting $10.40 double digit mutuel gave Don $520 and a big win. Not a bad parlay Don with Archidust and Clemson ( I know they are not a Coastal Carolina but being number 2 ain't half bad). Nicely played Don. Congrats on the win. Whole lot of shaking going on here so hopefully the scorekeepers errors are minimal. WIN... Don Guido... +$420.00... Race 7: $100 win #5 $10.40 X 50... $520.00 PLACE... Ruffian... +$188.20...

![]() That was a complicated mess to figure out and you did a great job, but you missed one of my scores. I also had a $10 Exacta which would, I think, give me another $47?

![]() 🐈 THE CAT’S MEOW 🐱
Inquiring minds need to know The reasons behind how the Cat 🐈 screwed up ![]() First of all The ML Logical Myth was NOT 9/1 When I posted! And,as you well know this Freaky Feline would NEVER have included 9/1 in my wagers!!! My cut off point is usually 12 / 1 As for the missing mysterious $10 Math has never been my strong suit 🙄 And when I rearranged choices on my paper Somehow in my mysteriously muddled mind ... I thought I added up to $100 Because I had changed the amount of a couple wagers from my original choices, rearranging ... Mewsing.....🤔 and must’ve looked at those numbers by mistake 😡 Real Quiet is correct when he says I have never in all the years in ROI ~ Missed out using the full $100 wager ![]() As it turns out it didn’t much matter ... because the other three horses 🐎 🐎 🐎 I Played ..... didn’t come in anyway 😢 ![]() |

![]() Well, I think I made the corrections but you never know. I had to flip flop Cal and Cruzan in the 3rd and 4th positions as I missed counting Cal's exacta.
My apologies for the error.

![]() Thanks much for the very eloquent Novelette. Here was my own kinda (Roamin) type, I think approach, for a change. I graduated from Clemson with a BS in Architecture (you can interpret the BS anyway you like)
![]() ![]() And what the heck is a Coastal Carolina anyway? If ya don't know, and most of you wouldn't, Clemson sits snuggly in the eastern foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. Cool nights from the prevailing breezes even in the middle of summer. A far cry and distance from the Carolina Coast. Oh wait a minute, you must be referring to that very good Coastal Carolina high school football team. I get it now. ![]() ![]()

![]() I have to say it - DonGuido, I am in complete admiration!
And I'm glad you got a very nice payoff for your selection. Well done! ![]() (And you were right about Coastal Carolina and Clemson too!) |
