I'm not going to put any money on the race, I don't
feel like driving all the way across town just to stand in a long line and waste $60, but here's how I'd bet on the Preakness if I were going to bet. 1. Lookin' at Lucky 2. Paddy O'Prado 3. Super Saver -- Ken Fortenberry

The reckoning: $20 on Lookin' at Lucky to win - $68 $20 on Paddy O'Prado to place - $0 $20 on Super Saver to show - $0 I'd have won about a six pack of Budweiser and a bag of Beer Nuts on the Preakness. (In the unlikely event SWMBO would let me get away with havin' a bag of Beer Nuts. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry

You give them $60, a few hours later they give you $66. What's not so great ? Hell, you can't do better than that with T-bills ! ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry

Your $20 on Lookin' at Lucky to place paid $46. So your $60 wager would have paid $112 or $52 worth of Budweiser and Beer Nuts. Nicely done. (And pass the Beer Nuts. ;-) -- Ken Fortenberry
