MYTH

1. You can beat a race, but you can’t beat the races>

This phrase has become the rallying cry of losing horseplayers everywhere. However, nothing is further from the truth. While rac- ing luck or unforeseen circumstances may prevent your “mortal lock” from winning every race, sound handicapping and effective money management will enable you to beat this game over the long haul. Racing is the sole game in town conducted through “p a r i - mutuel wagering.” The phrase means “wagering among ourselves.” Unlike casinos, lotteries, and other forms of legalized gaming, racing has no preconceived set of odds. In parimutuel wagering the player is pitted against his/her fellow player. The “house/track” takes its cut for providing this service. Simply, if you can handicap better than guys next to you, you win.

If you find the cache hide it as well as you found it.
Have fun and as always beware of snooping eyes.
It is always a good idea to have a writing instrument with you.
Finally, please let me know if there are problems with either the cache or its coordinates.
Please leave only quality swag

“The best horse doesn't always win the race”
