Lucky 13
You can feel the anticipation in the air as fans carefully observe their top picks before the race. Do you have any superstitions or strategies for choosing the winning horse?
From now on, I'll have one definite strategy. If the betting window makes a mistake and gives me the wrong ticket, TAKE IT!! Twice I've complained and had it changed, only to find that the "wrong" ticket was in fact dead right. In one case it was worth $900. Worst of all, I'm perfectly sure somebody cashed it in. I see the people behind the betting windows craftily putting rejected tickets aside -- it would be a piece of cake for them to just run them all through at the end of the day and see what came up....

My strategy is whatever my gut feeling tells me. Love the photo.
