Chasing a PICK 6

The Beaver in Oklahoma after three months in South Florida.  Trainer says he was a handful and then some as the bus was leaving Hialeah.  Maybe he had read something on the Weather Channel.  I am a little bit uncomfortable gloating about good weather here in the winter, for fear of setting off the Hurricane Spirits in August.  This weekend the Food Channel is everywhere on South Beach and there is an Art Show a couple of blocks away in Downtown South Miami.

Sunday they will be forcing out a pick six pool at Hialeah that should be about $100,000 on Sunday.  I really doubt I will be the only ticket with 6 winners, but I would be really happy to split the pool with more than a few folks.

Betting syndicates usually take down big pools and hopefully I won't be competing against too many sharks.

My group will include folks who drink cranberry juice, bud lite, mojitos, and coke.  Last year the guy who cashed the only ticket on a smaller pool on closing day wore a Billy Jack style black cowboy hat.  He also had a double before saddling his horses.  This year he is in Oklahoma, and I hope he will be on the sidelines gambling wise Sunday.

Follow up February 25, 2014.

The partnership did well enough to have 5 winners in 6 races.  Most other days that would have been enough to cash a ticket, but not Sunday.  Still trying to figure out who won a ticket worth $57,000.  Race tracks and online betting make this a difficult proposition.
