Results were nothing like the previous day where winner was in the three contenders
8 out of 9 races.

Top picked yielded 3 winners for 33% of the races with only one exacta paying 50.00
and no trifectas. 51.20 would have been the return if in the contest.

Obviously an exacta play and trifecta on every race will end up with a negative profit margin
in the long run., however I will give it one more day before changing my format.

108.00 was amount wagered on exotics, returning a meger 25.00 on the $1 box.

Total wagered for the day (following the rules) would have been 162.00.

Return on the day was slightly over 75.00 Clearly some modifications to the selection process
will be needed, such as in a tie( or close) the top pick may be chosen, then the second horse
thrown out totally if they continue to not come in second or complete the trifecta or exacta.
Then another horse might be entered as a contender for second and third.

Looks like I'm goin into Saturday down bout 80 bucks. Tomorrows another day.

Winning races were 2nd, 5th, and 6th with one top pick comin in second. On the positive note,
I did better than double my contest outcome from last week. See ya tomorrow. Thanks MIke
