Hope Remains a Stablemate
The first weekend of December each year, Bob Roberts plays Keeneland’s handicapping contest. This year, he decided to play at Turfway too. How did he do? “I’ve got a shiny green souvenir coffee mug from Keeneland and a $25 betting voucher door prize from Turfway, and that’s it. Actually, that’s not true. I bet and lost $15 of the voucher, then misplaced it, thus forfeiting the $10 balance to the cleaning crew or some eagle-eyed punter who gleefully found what I foolishly left behind.” Too bad, but at least he still has hope: “I’ve got $304.90 left in the kitty of my ‘Post Time’ feature, so hope remains a stablemate.” (Cleveland Plain Dealer)
