Sounds like the bionic jockey in that story of yours. I bet he was counting his lucky stars!

@Zyskandar – hunch bets…man, my wife’s good for a few of them a year. I still get grief from her about a day that must’ve been 5 years ago now. She came home from work, had a horrible day at the office, complaining the whole way home. Hollywood happened to be on and there was a horse with a fitting name (it escapes me now), something like ‘She’s an Angry Lady”…anyhow, the horse is 90/1. Amy wants to put $2 on the horse. I tell her she’s nuts and that there’s a reason the horse is 90/1…..I’m sure you know how this turns out. Horse wins for fun…darn near a $200 payout. She’s celebrating thinking I’ve bet the horse….only I never clicked the “accept” button on the computer (I did type it in, just never clicked accept).

Nearly the same thing happened at Pimlico about 3 years ago, only this time I managed to launch her $2 bet….only to show instead of win, so we only got about $20 instead of $200.

I hope I’ve learned my lesson….but then again I’ve said that about dismissing Tiznows before, haven’t I?
