Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda

It's another most wonderful time of the year. That's right, the Kentucky Derby is tomorrow! Today was the Kentucky Oaks. That's basically the female version of the Derby. I bet a $1 straight hi 5. That means I bet the horses that I thought would come in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The horses I bet needed to come in the exact order that I put them in. If I had boxed that bet, they could come in any order. However, it would have cost me $120 to box it. I was not spending $120 on a bet when there are 10 horses in the race. Well, I should have! If I did, I would have collected only $18,600! After every race, bettors are typically saying coulda, shoulda, woulda. Can you imagine what I could accomplish with $18,000? Of course it would be about 12 after taxes, but I'd be okay with that! Unfortunately, it's supposed to rain in Louisville tomorrow. That will greatly affect the bets I make and the outcome of the race. Either way, I'm still insanely excited for the race! I'm sure you're shocked by that.
