What's the best way to consider which horse to bet on?

- Whether he craps on the way to the starting gate ?
- Whether you like his colors or not ?
- The number of syllables in his name ?
- His color?

Very important question since the wife and I are foregoing Thanksgiving football and heading to the fairgrounds in New Orleans tomorrow to win us a fortune on the horse races. I look forward to your sage advice since I have no desire to make any turkey bets. After cleaning up at the track we'll spend the night in the quarter before the onslaught of weekend football fans.

1. Gut feeling. BOSS.

That's the way I always did it. Became a millionaire doing it that way.......OK. Not really.

2. We go about once a year

I pour over the odds sheets and try to make a logical choice, my wife says wow I like the colors that horse is wearing and places her bets. She mostly kicks my ass in the bottom line leaving the ractrack category.

3. Did he pee in the paddock?

If yes, he's worth $5.
