I did not post my selections for this race but:

My zacta box went first and third and I have no idea how to get this month-long heartbreak off my back.

1/8 Pole and I are riding the Tough Beat Express with first-class tickets. We're losing peanuts because we understand a losing streak but it's becoming ridiculous.

A couple of weeks ago we lost nostril photos at 3/5 and 35/1 on the same card.

Almost 40 years ago I can remember losing 17 consecutive races when PATTON HANOVER got up from the 8-hole at Roosevelt Raceway to pay $39.60. When you start flashing back that far it's no wonder I'm drooling on my keyboard and twitching like a blithering idiot.
