Thwarted

She put $900
On the fifth horse
In the sixth race
I think his name was Chips Ahoy

---The Hold Steady, "Chips Ahoy"

I love that song. So, in anticipation of being at Churchill Downs last weekend, my big plan was to put money on the fifth horse in the sixth race. We're sitting there, drinking mint juleps and living momentarily like rich people, when the line-up for the sixth race comes up.

Yeah, the fifth horse scratched.

So, that didn't happen. However, we did see Wee Man from Jackass that weekend and later I banged my head in a cave. Ow.
