This Saturday’s Belmont Stakes went along with the rest of the races that I wagered on. With “I’ll have Another” out of the race, I bet on Paynter to win, and it looked like he was going to do it until Union Rages passed him by a nose at the wire. All day I was picking the top two or three horses in every race, but they were crossing the line in the wrong order. Maybe I need to stick with more exactas instead of trying for trifectas, superfectas, pick 4’s, and daily doubles. There was one exacta combo that paid 125.90 for each dollar bet. That’s the kind of payout that I’m looking for. But, in order to get that kind of money, you have to pick a long shot once in a while.
