horse racing.

   Sun, October 21, 2007 - 11:14 AM
So on friday I was telling my boyfriend that I was going to the horse races that evening, and he told me to bet on 4,2, and 7 in the 4th race. He told me that someone told someone else to do the same thing and they won, but this happened 40 years ago in Australia. So, being that my boyfriend lives 7,000 miles away and knows nothing about horseracing, and that was a crazy coincidence, I gave it little thought.
That eve, I had the chance to bet on the 4th race, only that one, cuz the timing was perfect. So, I picked 4, and 2, for the heck of it, leaving 7 out of it.
The horses were off, none of the three were in the lead. Then something happened. Half--way through the race, one by one, those three ended up coming ahead, winning, in the exact order of 2, then 7, then 4! What kind of wierd coincidence is that? This is no joke, it really happened!! (see it for yourself www.drf.com/results/19/rBM19.html )
Conclusion? I hate my boyfriend. I hate him for being right on an entire fluke. And I hate myself for not including 7 on the bet. Damn!

Why did you go to the track? Will you be going again?

I've only been once (in Florida) and it was fun people watching,drinking cheap crappy beer, and all that.

i wanted to go to the track for a while now, cuz i heard they are going to close it down. i finally got a friday night off work, so i sent out a message to a group of people who responded that there was already an event going on there. so instead of creating my own party, i joined their's.
"friday nights alive" are $1 admission, $1 programs, $1 hot dogs, and of course, $1 beers!

That's sad to hear. Bits of "Seabiscuit" are set there.

Now you're talking my language! If you go again, please let me know!
