2011 Racing Season

Saratoga Race Course Monday, September 5, 2011 Total for the meet... $1284.85

We're kickin' our mythical bankroll up to $1200 to start the 2011 Saratoga thoroughbred race meet. In past years we've started with $1000, but with the 40-day meet a $1200 bankroll gives us a reasonable $30/day average. Each day we'll use this space to record our mythical best bets and calculate the accumulated wins and losses.

We'll guarantee ourselves a bankroll profit by keeping things light -- not to protect the bankroll, but simply because the weather makes this such a guessing game hours before the races are set to go off...
