Another Triple Crown is Over

Yesterday was the Belmont Stakes. Spent the day with Karen's family and my buddy Manny. They get together the first Saturday of each month and invite Doc and me. I feel very honored to be included. Last month the gathering happened to be Kentucky Derby day, and this time was the Belmont Stakes.

Had a decent day betting and made a little bit of money. Started with Scottish racing in the morning. Won the first race I bet and it paid 84.00, the long shot system at work! Used that money to make a lot of other bets through the day and had 2 more semi-long shots and a cheap exacta. Overall, I was pleased.

The gathering was at Ed and Jane's yesterday and was a really wonderful time. Great barbecue and great people. Here's a picture of the gang.
