So i broke out prep replays and looked for "it". Settled on two $1 tri tickets in my usual style- one super bomb long ball and one "chalky"..
19 w 1,3,5,7,12,20
5 w 1,3,7,12,19,20
As they're coming home my ****ing heart (of a lion) is pounding as the #5 hits the gas and pulls away and the race plays out like I thought it might for Toddy Pletch'.. and I squint and dart my eyes back to the #1... yes!!!! ... in my half drunken stupor, I believe I see the 12 strolling in for 3rd and am already thinking about the wad of hundo's that's coming my way and the obligatory blow bag to celebrate a 5k score.. hell, my mind immediately ponders that if it's over 6k I can swing a vegas trip next month to play 2/5 and maybe a WSOP event or two, because I certainly deserve it for behaving this year and I have a paperclipped 5k stack coming to the ole' pocket.
We all know what happens next. My heart instantly sinks when #11 is posted third and i recheck my ticket 60 times. I even throw it in the machine at the OTB just in case it's all a big mistake.
Nope. I'm sick to my stomach I was live with the 3,7,12,19,20 for third but only the 19 was even in the vicinity of third... waaaaaaah wahhhhhhh.
Johnny V stiffs AD in the Preakness and a bomb comes in up top in two weeks? I can only hope....
