Pen is a FUN place to bet......

And the first THREE are on the turf (a real treat for us Pen addicto's. usually only the first TWO are on the grass). And Pen should be enough to bring Mikey out of retirement.

So, without further adieu, I will bet:

Pick three $1
R1 h1
R2 ALL (love hitting that "all" key)
r3 h2, h6, h9.

$20 win on the #1 in the first.

Balance $1905 before these bets.

Finally! A real race track with 3k claimers and 5k mdns. Something I can understand. Too bad we werent there yesterday I had a good night up there. And have all day to look at the races.

Gotta love Pen National...BTW, what is up with the fuller fields they have now. I don't recall it being like this in the past. Don't think they raised the purses or anything...

Carl,
What up with the exotic wager? Must of had a late night encounter with a Moose or similiar like creature...Good to see the mix up of wagers...

[Carl]

Glen,

Just jacking around with the pick three. Don't think I will play it in "real life". I will bet the first and third though.

I am a strong "amen" to a post you made a month or so back about "tax on tax" when your odds are over 300-1. I avoid that situation at all costs. Bad enough paying 18%, not too likely
1) I am going to pay 25% more for the "privilege" of making an "exotic" bet. Or
2) I am going to pay more tax IF I hit. That's the ultimate in "Duh" money management for me.

(And I really trust my Jamaicans to pay out a $5000 tri. Sure, but they might have to wait till "manana".)

later,
Carl

Had the &^%# w**k virus today, thanks for playing Pen, Carl.

About 10 MTP R4

$25 WP #1 22% winners out of 1-hole!!

New bank--$990---I think, will check.

BTW--Agree totally with 'tax on tax' statement by Carl......how do you make any profit after the IRS whacks off 20% or whatever? Unless you're Glen & hit a weekly pik-4.....

[hurrikane]

Fun track...didn't get to play. On the bright side...I didn't sink any lower. Maybe I'll get out the valium this morning and figure out my bank.

[George]

Lucky you, Hurrikane. Pen is my second favorite track. Play it all the time and do well there.

Posted my plays with great confidence!!

Then they ran last night's card on a different planet with all new rules. Make some room down in the basement for me!!

Bank after $108 loss is $788.

[Donnie]

I might win this thing if I never place another bet!! YEAH, RIGHT!!!

Now remember, dag nabbit! Glen and I found this basement first!! We won't have room for too many more down here! Good thing Carls tearing 'em up! Watch out Carl....Harry looks like he's gonna be hell on wheels on your own turf!

BOL to all!
