    Don’t be silly. How would their hoofs transfer the money through the little windows at the OTB.

    Why early?
    I like to wait until 5 MTP, just in case.

    Love betting the ponies

    down a lot but still love betting them. Nothing better than doing your homework on a horse then they win. Great feeling.

    Spot on dude.

    That's why I bet the games, of course the money is great, but the real rush is doing the homework, real handicap work, then betting a side off of your opinions.

    When it wins like the way you thought it would, it's like a gambling orgasm.

    Two things I wish I had more time for.
    NHL Hockey and Horse Racing.

    Old timers taught me what six or so things to look for when you don't have time to handicap the horses.
    Like Beyers Speed Figures for instance.

    This is what I know.
    Today is the Arkansas Derby and the favorite is Doppelganger.

    That's all I know, pretty lame huh?

    OK, I'll spend 20 minutes on the two Garde 1 Stakes Races.
    Ponies aren't my thing, but I have an idea on how to go about handicapping them

    Quadrupled my rebate from last weeks offer from xpressbet (win bets refunded if your horse finished place or show) betting the Florida and Arkansas derby’s….exacta tri and super (only for a few dimes but still…)pig pen nailed it with cyberknife

    *edited to add…then flushed about 40% of the profits on the pacers @ Saratoga
