Triple Dead Head (Racing)

[cs_whypt2]

My father won "A Party With The Puppies" at the Dairyland Greyhound Park in Kenosha. My family and my parents friends went there. We got free entrance, parking, books and dinner. You had to pay for your bets and drinking. No problem!! We had a blast!!
First off, some one stole our tables, and was really rude about it. (Our tables were reserved, but they threw our reservation card onto our other table and sat there any way...and then tried picking a fight with one of our guests.)
Anyway...my parents paid for my $2 Show bet on each race (20 of them)...they keep the winnings though (I was up $25 on those bets).
So I also decided that I wanted to pay for my own bets, so I bet what is called .10 superfecta. It is a $2.40 bet. You pick 4 dogs, and those 4 dogs need to be the first 4 dogs to cross the finish line, regardless of what order. Game 8, I picked 3-5-7-8 and the winning dog order was 7-3-8-5, so I won that bet. That bet was worth $219.67!!!
I had bet up to game 12, and I figured I would be done, and I would have a nice profit, no big deal. One of my parent's friends talked me into betting for the rest of the races, just for the hell of it, because he said I was betting on the tracks money anyways. So I bet on the rest of the races.
Race 20, the last race. I had a bet. Then dad put in a bet. The Inez put in a bet. Then Eddie put in a bet. I put in a second bet. And Bob put in a bet. So I went up to place all of these bets, and I decided I would put in one more bet for myself, no big deal. So I have these possible combos:
1-2-4-5
5-6-7-8
and my last bet: 2-5-6-8
Yeah...guess who won?
2-8-6-5 was the finish!! :D
Me! Me! Me! I won $250.95 on that bet!!
All together I won $470.62 on my bets that I paid for.
Pretty neat huh??

Okay, now for the Triple Dead Head. This was one of the finishes for that night's races. This is the first time this has happened at DairyLand GreyHound Park, so they were pretty supprised. :



I figured I would share it with any one interested.
* #1 was my brother's bet.

Looks like #1 won the race to me... He's starting a new stride ahead of the other dogs, as the dogs on either side of him are just finishing one behind him and besides... It looks like more of his nose is covered up by the white line placed across the photo.
If I was a judge of that race, I'd have to say 1-6-7.
