“Lee and brother Al at MIAMI Race Track”

When in Fort Lauderdale, Florida – – a favorite place to go…  is  to  the RACE TRACK –  in MIAMI,  – and Lee and his brother, Al  and sister in law,  Thelma Aldrich – enjoy the day  – –  checking which horse  will WIN and did they pick the  WINNER?

Lee would do the results on the horses running and a whole list of checks for this and that – – just to see if this horse was ready to WIN.   What ever the system was that his brother, Al used – – was a top secret – he never said  – – as to how he rated the horses and their results – –   nor anything – –  that would influence him to bet on a particular horse.

Now  THELMA… was another story – – she would look the “RACE  TRACK FORUM” over – – checking for a “GREY HORSE” – – she told me that whenever she bets on a “GREY HORSE”  she always WINS!  Also… THELMA  would be looking for a particular  “JOCKEY”  –  there were certain ones that always would WIN – – so she did have some choices to make – – and she never complained that she was losing money – – so…  I just have to guess  – – that she was at least  always even with  the  “TRACK” – which would be a good system to have – – if and when  you like to see the horses running!

For me… I only go  to see what everybody is doing. I do not buy anything – and…  may as well  tell why – – “My MOTHER told me a long time ago – YOU can not WIN at another’s  game!”  So If you were not going to eat at the “CLUB HOUSE” – – I really did not want to go. My reason is… if I want to spend some money – I would rather buy a “SURE  THING”  at a STORE – – where I can pick it out. Some where in LIFE… I missed out on that CLASS – – where you learn  HOW to take a CHANCE to maybe…  WIN?
