Feel your pain bud, try to forget it as quick as you can because you can't go back, you waste energy just thinking about it. After getting fucked by a book last year for $5000, went to the ponies and got shut out as I was reading the bets, OH! what do you know tri that I thought would pay around 2000, paid over $10000, now I have to try and forget about it again, hang in there man!
Sorry to hear Andy, bad break. I noticed when grading the contest lately that a lot of chalk has been comming in at DelMar. Usually out of 5 races there will be one good sized price which eliminates many entrants, but lately a lot of 2 and 3 to 1 shots winning. I have not looked at today's entries yet. Sounds like no one won, but I will grade just the same. Good luck tomorrow. Natrually Skybook grades also.

Yeah, well it cost me the pick 6. I had the 5 and not the 8. I did get 5 of 6 a couple times, but still doesn't compare. 5 of 6 only paid something like 160 for a buck.
I haven't seen a horse taken down at Del Mar in 2 or 3 years, and it wasn't all that bad a bump, at least for that place.
Pay offs sucked all day though. Starting off with a 30 horse, then having a 16 horse moved up, and only having 5 o6 pay less than 200 bux is a disgrace, especially when they were betting 2 or 3 horses a race, and in that last race they bet four horses down.
Del Mar is just a tough track to make money at unless you hammer tickets mulitple ways and happen to get the right combo.
