Our annual trip to Monmouth Park provided us with 6 winning bets and two profit makers.
Cal, Real Quiet and Blunny cashed tickets but fell short of profitability. Last week I
stated Allydar was making a run at AEAgain for the overall lead
so Alli let out a notch and sprinted to a clear lead again with win number 5. In race 5
Alli cashed a dead heat place ticket and followed that in race 8 with a $26 win wager
on the double digit paying St. Erling worth $179. AEAgain finished the soggy afternoon
up $97 and that was more than enough for an easy peasy win. Did anybody even like
Baby Vino a little? Following are the unofficial results pending a review. See you next
week.

I think Alli is the only one in positive territory. I think there is a wee error. I played $12 worth of doubles which returned $5.90 for each double. By my calculation that comes to $70.80, so much to my chagrin, I too am short of profitability. I did not seriously consider Baby Vino, but I did consider playing that race with my doubles and I noticed that Paco Lopez rode Baby Vino in his last race, but of course rode the Preakness winner too and decided to go with that one. That decision probably smarted a bit.
Well done Alli!!
Thanks!!

Thanks Cal. Even with a calculator I can't get it right!
We all make mistakes, but I know your mistakes are pretty rare. I think I could count them on one hand and have fingers left over and that is after a multi-year period.
