Angie,

Kathy and I "bet cheap" at the tracks -- anywhere from $2 to $6 a race. We don't exactly get rich <g>. Just lunch and 4-5 races on a Saturday or Sunday. Simply entertainment; no different than golf or anything else. We "team bet," which we enjoy! Had we bet $20 on the Gracie Race, we would have lost $20. But since we bet only $6, that's all we lost. Everything is relative!

Gene

p.s. If a 'Gracie entry' competes in the KY Derby, we may lift our bet to $25.
