Horse # 4, Fallen from Grace, and
Horse # 6, Grace's Miracle.
Unfortunately, a miracle didn't happen, and both of our entries fell from grace. The winning horses were #7, #1, and #5.
Thus, as of today I am giving up my Diet Cokes for 21 days and will substitute water as my beverage of choice during this period of time. We have got to recover our huge bet tab for the day, so we can still make our February trip to The Villages, (aka, Paradise).
You will probably see me leaner in early February, when we arrive TV (Feb. 5-12). I am allowing Kathy to continue with her Diet Cokes. No sense that we both punish ourselves for a ... bad day at the track. Next time we will simply choose 'Lucky Lucy'...as our bet in Race 4 of the day..

ps: We still love 'ya!

$6 on Fallen from Grace, and Grace's Miracle? You didn't say where they placed. I mean, did they stop to smell the roses or maybe they were cheering on the winners. I mean, if you think about it. That certainly wouldn't have been a good bet since Gracie is a cheerleader and not a player.
Do we need to do a chip in to get you to The Villages? Maybe if everyone chipped in oh... 2 cents, we could get your $6 back in no time.
Well... you just got my 2 cents...
Oh... and don't EVER bet on Angie's Angel, I heard it came in DEAD LAST the last race she ran.
