We consider the trainer's record, jockey record, horse record (this year and last), track stats, etc. Kathy is partial to gray horses, but a horse's color or name (...except Grace) doesn't drive my choices. About a month ago I just had to bet on "Kathy My Love," but that horse came in last place in her race. As I said, so much for names <g>.

Again...all in the fun of it! Betting together adds to the enjoyment (instead of trying to beat each other, we just want to win as a couple).

I personally use the eenie meenie minnie moe method of picking horses but your way sounds a whole lot more scientific.

Seriously, I think I may want to do this someday as it sounds like fun.
