Must be really tiny guys on the dogs as I've never seen em 

OTOH Derby Lane has had a computerized dog blood - urine analyzer
for decades but never found anyone to operate it.
I'm sure they don't dope the dogs ;-)

-> I once bought the track a round of beers!    

I bought the bar a round of beers that night, several in fact.

-> Well, not qite everyone, but it felt that way.  There were some 50 or 
-> more people around me.  And, the normal $1.00 beers were $0.15  The 
-> line was moving slowly.  When it was my turn, I ordered 50 beers 
-> and just started to hand them out to everyone behind me. 

I'd been bragging on my picks before they hit and was ignored.
As I hit four in a row those close by took a great deal more interest
but I left the track 4 for 4.
No sense being greedy.

Many times a hundred or two ahead out the door but only the once
in the thousands and only the one time multiple consecutive trifectas.

-> As it was, I started with $20.  I won every race.  And, I bought 
-> hotdogs as well as beers for everyone after every race I won.  I 
-> went home with $20 bucks, after spending around $200.00  

Like I said, I walked in with about $27 dollars and the price of a beer
and walked out after 4 races $4,200 up 

This after cashing out at the payout labelled  "IRS" so I knew I'd paid
the freight on taxes in advance.
Required at the time anyway anything over $600 win.

Never been to a casino but was once down 2,500 in a poker game and it
took me 36 hours to get back to only $90 down.
Last time I ever played poker for money.
I'm not good enough.
