Curses!

I picked Icabad Crane to finish second for the 7-3 exacta in the big race today, and he just missed, finishing third by a half-length. . . But Big Brown -- one helluva horse, and it's nice to see a Maryland-trained jockey, Kent Desormeaux, up on the winner. KD gave tribute to his home state on national television, too. Nobody got hurt. Nice ride. Lovely day. (But I wish I had that damn exacta!)

Why didn't you just have a $25 exacta with Big Brown over Macho Again combined with a $25 place bet on Macho Again? That's what I did.
