The Kentucky Derby was yesterday so I went to the local track. I decided before I left I was going to bet $20-25 on the race. I also knew which horses I would bet on Hold Me Back and Advice. I arrived at the track and about 25 minutes to the race I found an open betting machine and bet $8 on each horse and got a $4 voucher for the left over money I did not use.

The plan was to find a different race to use that for. I walked around for a while looking for a race to bet but the TVs were all crowded. Then the plan was just cash in my voucher but all the lines were too long. I saw an open betting machine and decided to place another bet on the derby. I placed the $4 on a long shot Mine That Bird to show and found a place to watch the race. The race started my horses where all towards the middle of the pace but once they made the turn for home I saw a horse charging from the rail. The horse ran passed everyone and won easily and then I realized it was one of my horse Mine That Bird.

The $4 bet turned into $51.60 so I took my $31.60 profit and went home.
