OFF TOPIC beat story to entertain you...
Freehold Raceway Thursday March 25.
Pick-4 races 7-10.
$1 ticket 4/1,3,6/1,2,3,4,6/3,4. Cost $30.
Race 7) 4 horse favorite runs away by 5 lengths
Race 8) 3 horse at 3:1 beats odds on favorite
Race 9) 4 horse at 20:1 beats odds on favorite
Here we go in final leg!
3 is paying $868. 4 is paying $1800.
3 horse FABULOUS GENIE is going gate to wire and on the final turn the 5 horse CRUELLA HALL takes a run at her. The 3 is the favorite at 1/2. The 5 is 125:1, that's right and goes on to win by a head and pay $252 for a $2 win ticket!!!
Bad news no $868. Good news is two 3-of-4 consolations good for $185 each so my $30 wager returned $370. (I want that $500)
Is this serious? A 1/2 beat by a 125-to-1 shot!
P.S. Had ICE BOX in the Florida Derby and missed the exacta and superfecta. BALLS!
