Hello Joe
Yeah, the Maker colt helped me. Not in a real time monetary way but I will explain.
Having entered the Hawthorne Spring Stakes Showdown, a free contest with a 20 WP format, and having no contest experience, I missed the fact there were more than one contest on some weeks, so I missed out on an obvious $40 when I selected just one winner (Green Light Go) neglecting to use another mare who won at 1/2.
I moved up at least 200 spots with the $180 place mutuel. Maybe millions of people go by, but they all disappear from view.
Sha bop sha bop.
