What starts as a horse story ends as an "oddity".
Shot out to the OTB/casino last ngiht to grab a few bets. I did the first 5 races and went home. After they ran I realized that I had made a few bucks so I went back there to pick up the money and maybe lay a bit on the last 4 races. So I pick up my money and a friend that frequents the track runs up to me and says "Who do you like in the next race?" I hadn't planned on bettting that one but I grabbed his program, scanned it for no more than 30 secs. and spit out 4 horses in my "preferred" order. He ran off and I went up to the neighbouring bar to grab a cold beer and devise my next plan.....
I sat there, picked out my next bets in my own world when I heard this HUGE FREAKING
"WHA-****IN HOO" come out of my friend.
Guess what.........
$2,700 of Mohawk trifecta.
So he comes over and flips me a $100 as a thank you. I am thinking to myself that life is cruel but I should contemplate that a little closer to the boys room.............off I go podering the unfairness of that turn of events when a guy sitting next to the washrooom playing a $2 slot machine hits a jackpot!!!
He yelped.....coughed.....and DIED !!!!!
Right on the spot....slumped down in his seat and that was it !
I guess MY luck wasn't all that bad after all.
