The Ess Curve
Okay, so now I am all into the betting on the favorite. In the next race we bet on Hungry Tigress. This suits me just fine because not only is she the favorite, but her name ends in “ess” just like Ivory Empress! In my scientific method of choosing winners, this is as good as a done deal. But for reasons unknown, Hungry Tigress just didn’t feel like running her best and we lost. Maybe it was the oppressing heat and humidity. We surely didn’t feel like running anywhere. (Not counting admission and parking, we came out ahead 40 cents!)
