What a coincidence...I SHOT their simulcast
ALL the times, lol.
I was up in a tower at the end of the backstretch, shooting that view for the OTB feed. Granted, this was 20 years ago.
As the odds shake out, I am sticking with my pick. NOT Scientific, The Fairgrounds original name was "Union Racecourse"
translating to Union Rags, and I went with El Padrino because of the cigar-type connection. I imagine it's not unlike the
"gray horse" phenomenon betting. I selected Union Rags before I knew he was a favorite. never won BIG with this kind
of foolishness, but I have WON with name-picking. I find it's as good as anything else. I've scoured the DRF before and
went home as broke as ever.
