11-11-12


We did a day trip today, to a place we've never explored, Portland Meadows.  The last time we squeezed in a day trip was labor day weekend, so guess holiday weekends are the key.

The track is low key compared to Emerald Downs, and we had a pleasant day.  Turns out Xander has a knack for picking the ponies.  After a slow start, we ended up almost breaking even on our (mostly) $2 bets.  Our collective horse picks finished top 3 about 60% of the time.  Anastasia and I choose almost purely based on the name of the horse (we should have known that Dashin’ Baby Boy would take the win), the guys look at odds and how the horse looks.
