There's an old adage in greyhound racing that the one who poops just before getting into the starting gate has the best chance to win, due to suddenly weighing that much less, I guess. I'll have to wait and see which horse lays out a few apples on the way to the start.

There was a dog racing track in Wheeling we used to go to once in a while. That was how a lot of people picked their bets.

The Arkansas Derby and Wood Memorial have usually been good indicators. Never ignore the trainers nor jocks. Great ones make a difference.

I Own 2 that run in a lower level and I never bet them. Superstition.

Got one running Keenland Friday.

I'll stick with drinking a mint julep. Or 2. Went to the Derby when I was stationed at Ft. Knox. It was an experience! I enjoy watching the horses run but I gave up betting on them a while back.

I always bet on the gray horse so Tapit Trice works for me.
