So you're probably wondering where I'm celebrating my winnings

After all, Afleet Alex won the Belmont Stakes. And even the jockey admits he blew the Triple Crown:
"He should be a Triple Crown winner, but I messed up," in the Derby, [jockey Jeremy] Rose said, referring to Afleet Alex's third-place finish at Churchill Downs, where he was beaten by two long shots.
Unfortunately, betting on a 6:5 favorite to win is not the way to win big cash, and I would've fallen down on the exacta and the trifecta. I was not alone, either.

However, I never made it to the track today instead spending the day with family in Sheboygan Falls. Apparently the local tribesmen haven't convinced authorities a casino with a sports book operation would be a perfect compliment to a round of golf.

Which reminds me, would Father Wild be as upset if Marquette went back to being the Warriors but adopted as the mascot a bingo card?
