Winning Ticket and a Loss

Eight Belles is #5 in the green

My father and I went down to the local OTB Saturday afternoon (at a bar in town owned by one of the owners of Big Brown) and bet on a lot of losers but our hometown favorite prevailed.

We won a whopping $36 or so but it's just so sad about the little girl Eight Belles, who placed but broke 2 ankles and had to be put down. Poor little philly.
