YES you can play the horses
and you can play the jockeys
and you can play the trainers
and you can play the numbers
and you can play the angles
and you can play the favorites
and you can play the odds
and you can play the colors
and you can play your birth date
and you can play an anniversary
and you can play vertically
and you can play horizontally
and you can play a bunch on a hunch
and you can play a little to win a lot
whatever suits you best...
handicapping horse races:
it's the greatest game!🐴

2020 Kentucky Derby - My Old Kentucky Home
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day.
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright;
By 'n by hard times comes a knocking at the door
Then my old Kentucky home, Good-night!
Weep no more my lady.
Oh! Weep no more today!
We will sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home, far away.

Artificial Crowd Noise... NO!!!!
Do you know what makes sports great?
.
It's real.
A diving catch.
A tipped ball up for grabs.
A half court shot to win the game.
A driving finish to win by a nose.
A recovered fumble. A 3-point shot.
A power play. A double play. A fast break.
A stolen base. A slaaaaaaaaam dunk!!!
All absolutely real. Each moment, pure and true.
Now, do you know what's pure crap?
Recorded crowd noise. The laugh track.
Phony pre-recorded cheers from non-existent fans.
It's awful. It's stupid. It's embarrassing.
STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I miss it.
I miss being at the racetrack. I miss getting up early and dressing in
my white shirt and burgundy vest with the emblazoned words Santa
Anita Park... I miss the tie, black pants and suspenders. I miss the
drive... I miss arriving in the morning at Santa Anita and walking from
the parking lot through the gates, up the ramp to the windows.
I miss being a teller.
I miss the trip to Del Mar, driving the coast, the magnificent Pacific ocean on your right, heading down to where the turf meets the surf... I miss that. It's summer... bikini tops with gypsy skirts and sandals and soft summer sundresses and cool linen suits & hats and precocious young players eager for cocktails and the thrill only attending live thoroughbred horse racing can bring... who do you like in the next race? I miss working Del Mar.
I miss seeing the horses and the jockeys and the public up close...
I miss the gamblers. I miss the horse players. I miss the old timers and the guessers, the system's players and $2 acrossers. I miss the big shots and the longshots, the winners and the losers... the whales... and the minnows. They are my favorite. The regular folks.
The 'this is my first time at the racetrack so...' I miss them most.
I miss being a pari-mutuel teller at the racetrack...
one of the best jobs I ever had. ~ Dell Yount @ www.UPINCLASS.com
