That’s the only bet I won as well - the $2 exacta. Broke even on the day though. Actually won more money phoning in dog bets (my buddy was at the Kennel Club) earlier in the day.
Greyhounds????Are there still greyhound tracks? In Phoenix 33 years ago I used to go to Greyhound Park for the first year we lived there. Made a little money just by betting on the rail dog. It was a very funny sight: before every race, the dog handlers, looking very serious and dressed in blue jumpsuits, would come out with each of their dogs on leashes, and stand up on a little hill by the rail fence, separated from the spectators, under harsh spotlights,and all this while a loud sprightly instrumental version of the theme from “Bridge on the River Kwai” played on the P.A. system. You had to be there I guess but it was weird.
