Happy Meme: Day 5

[twoweevils]

The races were great fun, even though no one went home with more money than they came with. Here are our racing tips:

1. Always pick the grey horse. (Though this may only work for me--M lost $2 today on a grey horse.)

2. Don't pick the favourite. Every time either of us picked the favourite, it came in dead last.

3. Whatever else you do,

LOL!!! Not much worse than my method. I always pick the horses who don't look bored or spooked by the crowd. :-) If there's more than one, I pick the one who looks the most arrogant. ;-) I figure he's going to work hard to not have anyone else in front of him. :-)

We were up in the restaurant at the track, where you can't actually see the horses up close--you have to watch them on the TV at your table--so it's hard to get much of a feel for them. But yeah, the look of the horse plays into it too. M usually bets on the ones that seem fidgety, and that seems to work for her. Not so much for me.

I did that once. He ended up in the infield because he was spooked by air. :-)

It was! Have you been out there?

Hee! Your methods are much like ours. My pal Suzi also invariably picks the gray horse. I pick the prettiest one. Fortunately we don't wager actual money on them, because our record is less than stellar. *g*

Sounds like a lovely day. :-)

We sometimes watch the races at home on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon--one of the local channels shows them--and pick our favourites. You'd think all this experience would help at the actual races, but sadly, it does not.
