What was your biggest miss...
Of this weekend? Mine had to be not betting Swap Fliparoo... instead of taking 5/1 on her, I opted for a horse 3 times the price- Win Mccool. Sure Swap may have been an underlay at 5/1 but a $13 horse is still nice.
Nearest potential score was a simple big win bet on Kazoo, who ran his eyeballs out, only to lose near the wire. That hurt.

Just missed the late pick 4 (and pick 3) at Del Mar on Sunday... I got a little cheap with a $4 ticket but had correctly singled Lucky Thirteen in the 7th and Jump On It in the 9th - took Happy Ticket and Healthy Addiction (winner) in the 8th but went with Wee Jinky and Sea Battle in the 7th - Sea Battle just lost by a nose and Wee Jinky was 3rd... $1 P4 paid $353.50 with a 7/2 winner in the 7th and probably would have paid over $500 with Sea Battle winning (he was 8-1)... that one hurt

I dont normally either but I passed up a very logical horse at 5/1, yet couldnt run fast enough to the windows to key 9/5 Running Dog and 1/2 Artie Schiller in bets that totaled $300. At some point you have to scratch your head.

I had Yankee Thunder singled in the Pick 3. I played 2 Pick 3's, both alive to that race. One was for $5 in which went 2 deep and then singled both Invasor and Yankee Thunder. The other I went 5 deep in the first leg and used both Flower Alley and Invasor in the second leg. That Pick 3 was for $2. I am po'ed, but I learned a lesson.

Oh yeah and not using Prayin For Cash at all in my tri yesterday, especially dumb for someone who likes Duke Basketball.

Prayin for Cash surely took some funny money yesterday. Would have expected Flashy Bull and Deputy Glitters to both take more money than him. I looked up and saw 5/1 most of the time throughout the betting and began to think should I bet him to win?
Well he ran huge but ran into a monster in Blue Cat.

i logged into xpressbet and punched in 3-5-7-9 $5 exacta box. (well i THOUGHT thats what i did) we got home at 6:30, i checked the results and my #5 hunch pays off! until i checked xpressbet!..... i forgot the 9!....ouch!
