Even with no coins on any of the ponies, can't you still be happy for the "faithfuls" who plunked down $2 or who knows how much more at 18-1 odd$ paying $39.22! 

No guts - no glory!

    Nothing like totally missing the winner-thus in election terms all down ballot finishers did nothing.  
    No chance given the race outcome and nothing worse than having the 2, 3 and 4 finishers.  Back again (with luck) next year.  
    Thanks for the salvation outlet @RRP.
    The brown water is not as nice this PM.  

    Edit: tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo so there's that celebration on the horizon.

    Sorry buddy…about 50 years ago we got into attending and betting on Saturday night harness horse racing for a few summer months. Then that lead to a couple years driving up to Arlington Race Track in Chicago 3 hours each way. Did we even cover our costs? Of course not! The VERY last time I ever bet on a horse race and the reason I even remember it…was the last race that day at Arlington was a “claiming race”. There were 25 horses, but only 17 slots. I thought here was my LAST chance at winning at horse racing so I wanted to win! So I bet $2  to WIN on all 17 slots! 

    So…after being so proud of KNOWING that I had the WINing TICKET in my hand  I recall waving those tickets to those racing patrons still in the stands. So my $34 gamble resulted in clearing $1.30. WOW, huh???

    HAR HAR HAR !  Just don’t ask me for horse race betting advice!

    I had Mystik and Forever as the daily double, closest have ever come to hitting the DD. 
    As they say, close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and dancing.
