Our Day At The Track

Last Sunday Kayla and I decided to go for a ride. We headed down Rte. 96 and passed the racetrack. We have a friend who is pretty much a professional handicapper so we decided to stop and see if he was there, he was not. But on the way in we passed the paddock where the horses for the first race were. She commented that number 3 was a beautiful animal. I asked if she would like to place a wager since she liked his looks, she said sure. I like to bet exactas which is the first two horses in a race. So we be a $1.00 box of the 1,3, and 5 horses which cost $6.00, and since she liked his looks we put $2.00 to win. For a total wager of $8.00. Well the three and five came in in that order so we won the exacta and the bet to win. We hadn't looked at the odds so we didn't realize that they were the two long shots in the race, number 3 was 13 to 1, and number 5 was 9 to 1. The $8.00 wager paid $138.70. Kayla said she never made that much money in 10 minutes, we cashed our ticked and continued in our way. We sure never know what's in store for us do we?
