This fanless horseracing has been pretty brutal for me..I've been the kiss of death to anything I've bet in the last month +.
Today was no exception.
Authentic (the speed) was a no-brainer toss for me. Thought Honor AP and Thousand Words would be the upsetters ...along with Enforceable. Thousand Words scratched in the paddock...and BB's assistant trainer broke his arm while he was at it..and the others all finished out of the money. Just a microcosm of my past few weeks. I thought I had the P4 nailed down pretty well. I had 1 of the 4 winners. 
I'm walking funny..
Done for a while ...thanks 2020.

I'm actually going to bet it.  But more than likely I'm just going to get drunk.

I do the same with cricket. Most matches start at 7am here, but I'm a real fan.

Sort of. His team lost its last 3 matches and squeaked into the playoffs. 

[gotbeer]

My sober picks.  So probably losers.  Yeah, probably, they will be.

Race 10 5 Swiss Skydiver 2/1

Race 11 3 Tarnawa 6/1

12th race, the classic looks to be a pretty well stacked race.  Should be a fun one.

Kohli's team, RCB, is in a real battle right now in the 1st round of the playoffs vs SRH.

He flamed out going for 6 off 7 balls in only 1.2 overs as the lead batter.

JT - 2/5/8 ex box 

[Lou]

Holy crap.  First race at Keenland.  Nashville.  6 F.  107.89 in hand, no urging.  Track record.  

[gotbeer]

Just to put it in perspective.  The previous track record at Keenland for 6f was AP Indian on Oct 7, 2016 at 1.08.43.  So Nashville was a half second faster, not trying hard at all.

[gotbeer]

Man, lot's of track records fell today.  Overall, had a good day for once.  Hit 5 of 12 races, and ended up about $50.

so what you're saying is that there wasn't anyone at the 3rd furlong pole yelling "come on, horse, i implore you to run faster!"

that's impressive.
