It happens to everyone. Something you've been doing 'oh so right' has disappeared from your wagering game. And, for too long a period of time you can't seem to hit the side of a barn. You are bleeding money.
The worst slump of my life, caused me to retire from this game for more than a year. This one is not that bad--just under two weeks. My wagering unit is back to $2; strategy: straight bet.
About the best one can hope for, while waiting out the drought is evidence that skills are still in tact. In that regard, I confidently bet Waquoit's Dance (Bocachica up) across the board in Gulf's the fifth race. The horse finished second and the stewards flashed an inquiry sign before deciding that Dance Diamonds' (Prado up) numerous stretch bumps were insufficient to elevate my 22-1 shot. Bad luck, but skills in tact.
Any doubt was confirmed by mover Midnite Silver winning the seventh.
