What A String Of Losses!
It's something that happens in racing, and not very often to me, but it does happen. Sometimes you look at the past performances and the winners leap off the page. Other times you use the same methods and angles and can't cash a ticket. Such was the case on Thursday, Friday and Sunday of this final week of the Championship Meet prior to our trip to France. I had the BIG day on Wednesday and just raved to Kim about how it was the epitome of what I love about the thoroughbred racing hobby I have. Then, back-to-back losing days without a single winner. Head off to Tampa, and while I only had four wins I nearly broke even and had a great adventure. Then on Sunday I close the week out with eight straight losses. If you look over "the streak" you'll notice that it's not like I wasn't picking logical horses, in fact of the 21 selections NONE of them went off at odds above 5/1; I had 13 of the 21 at odds of 2/1 or less and three at odds on. Sigh......
Well, enough about that, here are some pics from the weekend in Tampa! You can read the complete journal entry on the Tampa Bay Derby webpage, here.
