I had my first horse race last night and will wonders never cease, my horse won at 11-1. Look out, if I start winning consistently I'll have enough purse money to start bidding on 69's again!!!

Harrington is a 1/2 mile track, Dover is 5/8. There at Harrington right now.

Tell us the truth now. Did you think he was going to win or did he luck out?

What was the purse? and how much extra did you bet on the side? - Looks like that PSA-10 '69 set will be done in no time

Actually the 3-5 favorite broke stride. My horse went right to the lead and never looked back. Won by 4 or 5 lengths. I had a healthy win bet, the exacta 3 times amd the triple. I did very well. The purse was $11000. I get 50% but the trainer gets 5% as does the driver. I'll take 40% all night long.

At 11-1, you are looking at/around $24 per $2 for the WIN bet. How did the second place horse do? As with most races, I'm sure there was lots of money on the "chalk" (3-5 favorite) - so the exacta, trifecta and superfecta (if applicable) were beefy.

IMHO - I'd rather bet the longshots than dealing with the $3.20 per $2 WIN bet on the 3-5 chalks.

The horse paid 24.60, the exacta was $145 and the triple was $762. The 3-5 favorite ran out of the money.

The fastest way to make a small fortune in racing is to start out with a large one.

Congrats!

Congrats BOB and Chocolate Square!! While upstate a few years back I spent some time at Vernon Downs so can relate to the trotters. Keep up the good work!
