5 starters today. 

The one horse I was sure would win (and so were the punters) came in third.  (Indy’s Slew)

It’s okay, though, cuz last week I noticed one of the stakes horses I had another entry in the race with was for sale.  So I figured, what the heck!  And bought her.  She came in second.  I’m laughing all the way to the bank with that one.  She paid herself off and then some.  (Miss Livewire).  My other horse in that stakes came in 4th. 

The other two tanked. No paychecks.
