A Day at the Races

My Dad (a wizard of all things mathematical and bridge-related) took us to one of his old Phoenix haunts today-Turf Paradise Horse Track.

There were nine races to bet on that day and we each had 20 bucks. I should have known that the odds weren't in my favor that day when the first horse I bet on didn't even finish the race due to injury. Me screaming "IF THEY SHOOT THAT HORSE I AM LEAVING THIS TRACK RIGHT NOW!" probably didn't help things.

All in all I won $4.60.

Pictured here is Chris' horse winning (the odds were against him) and thus earning him $34. My horse hadn't even crossed the finish line yet (the odds were supposed to be in my favor.)

He's mentioned it once or twice.
