I put together a small pick 5 ticket. Jim and Tom and I were the only ones today, the other table guys were not there yet Dad does not like to go on Sundays,
Anyway, the day started out alright, besides the pick 5 I mad exacta bets in races 1 and 2 which came in.

Race 4, a 41-1 shot, horse #3 wins and therefore knocks us out of the pick 5 but wait!
After a long look, the maiden cut over and took out both of our pick 5 horses, horse #5 and #8. They put up the #5 and 8 and dropped the #3
to third,
We had the 2,4,5, and 6 in the last leg, which meant we had a nice shot at the pick 5.
I figured I would go out to the paddock and go visit my lady friend Steffany.
She sells the tip sheets to people as they first come through the main gates
I told her about Baffert and Smith winning the Whitney and how I hit the exacta. but missed the pick 4.
Just then I got really dizzy. I wanted to get out of the sun, She told me to sit on a bench near her booth, She called over to security to have them give me some water.
Security let me rest and drink my water, after about 10 minutes they came and asked me where I was, I told them my laptop was in the early bird simulcast room.
They walked me back to the room, they gave me more water and suggested I go home. Jim took care of that.
I got home and went to bed, I just woke up and according to the results
we did hit the pick 5 at Saratoga

Thanks to everyone at DMR who made sure I was okay and got home
safely. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow,

Thank you # 2 Fool's Gold
