Soon to be Glue, Vol. III
Filed under: Imported
Tomorrow is the Claiming Crown, the biggest racing day of the season out at Canterbury Park.
At last year's event, naturally, I didn't win a single wager. Initially I decided to bet on Chicago-area trainer Scott Lake's horses owing to his past Claiming Crown success. But after two of his early prohibitive favorites faltered miserably I abandoned that hare-brained strategy.
I'm not sure what scheme I devised next, but I recall insisting that there was no way Julie Krone was going to ride back-to-back winners--which of course she proceeded to do.
I haven't divised a solid betting strategy yet for tomorrow. But I'll probably just drink beer and bet on the prettiest ponies.
