Ice update

To all:
In regards to the shares, we ended up losing 30% of the pool but I will not be charging anyone because my phone didn't work in Kentucky and I couldn't access my email to send out the picks. Everyone was better off not knowing what was going on anyway so you didn't have to endure the heartbreak that occured Saturday. We lost a little bit on Friday after I rallied back from an early pummeling then on Saturday we hung tough until the last three races where it got real interesting. The collected pool for the shares was $20,000 and going into the ninth race I had it up to $40,000 and we were alive in the pick four and the pick three. Our horses in the ninth race ran second and third which knocked us out of both pools. We had 50-1 Giacomo in both the pick four and the pick three. That second place in the ninth race cost us $2 million in the pick four and $800,000 in the pick three. Then to make things even more painful, if the #12 horse Afleet Alex, who got beat by half of a length, holds on for second in the Derby we hit the superfecta that paid $1.7 million. This is by far the worst beat I have ever experienced, and I don't know if you all know, I have bet a few races in my lifetime. Thanks to everyone who invested in me and we will try again next time. I have to go throw-up now. P.S. For those of you who sent me a check, I will rip it up. If you gave me cash I will give it to you when I see you.
