  We've got some major changes to the 401k this week. Mainly, I got another job, and it requires that I work Saturdays. Worst of it, I can't access NYRA Bets, since they blocked such websites But, I can troll Facebook all day. Secondly, we pretty confirmed that weekday betting is a confirmed violation of Rule One. So, rather than losing money all week, we're sticking to weekends. Or it looks like Sunday only....  We did do a couple quick hits at Turfway Park during the week, and that went well. But I tried to blindly make a couple bets yesterday on the Dubai Cup. So, we lost what made. Here's where we are now, and here are today's picks....

 Hey, no pressure today. We only had a 75% drop in our profits this week. Of course, with a 3 week old fund of only $60 to start, it doesn't take much to drop - or go up. Finally, we did the latter today. Sorry, but I was at my brother's today. Then again, it looks like no one is following this anyway.... THOROUGHBRED 401K: DATE OF INCEPTION:  2/27/22 FUNDS AT UNCEPTION: $60.00 OVERALL: 58-85 (68.2%)  TOTAL AT END OF DAY: $99.10 (+65.2%) TODAY'S PICKS: Oaklawn Park, 4th Race, Melting Snow, Bet $5 to Show  - LOST (4TH) Melted in the stretch.

 Thank God, we FINALLY made it to the weekend. We're quickly learning that betting during the week is becoming a losing proposition. We win on weekends, lose during the week. When you go 4-1, and end up with a 20% loss, you get a little discouraged.... But, it's time to make up for some small losses with some bigger wins. Saturdays brings stakes races, which brings better horses with better odds.  Here we go! START OF DAY TOTALS: PICKS:   50-72 OVERALL (69.4%) DATE OF INCEPTION: 2/27/22 VALUE AT INCEPTION: $60.00 VALUE AT END OF DAY:  $99.85 (+66.4%).

Had his head turned sideways at the start,

  Happy Friday! We've been taking it on the chin a little bit all week. So our goal is to have a weekday where we don't lose money. If this continues, we'll need to reevaluate, but it's early. The margin of error is thin, so every wrong bet takes a lot of right bets to make up.... Here's where we are: START OF DAY: DATE OF INCEPTION: 2/27/22 ORIGINAL FUNDS: $60.00 PICKS: 46-67 OVERALL (68.7%) VALUE AT START OF DAY: 106.85 (+78.1%) PICKS: Gulfstream Park, 2nd Race, Cozy Cafe , Bet $5  - WON, PAID $7.00  (+40%) Gulfstream Park, 3rd Race, Philipsburg, Bet $5  - WON, PAID $5.25 (+5%) Gulfstream Park, 8th Race, Join the Dots, Bet $5  - WON, PAID $5.25 (+5%) Oaklawn, 4th Race, Jilted Bride, Bet $10  - WON, PAID $10.50 (+5%) Oaklawn, 8th Race, Harvard, Bet $10  - LOST.
