2010 Racing Season

Saratoga Race Course Monday, August 30, 2010 Total for the meet... $310.00

We start the 2010 Saratoga thoroughbred race meet with a mythical bankroll of $1000. Each day we'll use this space to record our mythical best bets and calculate the accumulated wins and losses.

Yesterday...

This is getting ridiculous - but it's just another day at Saratoga 2010 for us. Another exacta where we had two of the top three finishers - but not the 1-2 fininshers. And an absolutely frustrating photo finish loss in the 9th which cost us another $25 and change and kept us from a profit on the day...

If we are interested in both halves of an entry -- in event of a scratch -- it is noted that way [in other words, both halves are named]. If only one-half of the entry is named, then we prefer that half and will move to our next pick listed [rather than the other half of the entry] in event of a scratch.
