Mutuel Musings: Keeneland Opening Day



What if Charlie didn’t spend his good fortune on a Wonka Bar but instead took his ducats to the track and put it across the board on longshot colt Golden Ticket in the 3rd?


Sure, the story works out well for the boy. What with getting the keys to a Fortune 1000 Candy Factory flowing with chocolate tributaries, golden eggs and shnozberries that taste like shnozberries. But when the smoke clears and all that’s left are payroll and property taxes, utility bills, the oopma union and the childhood obesity epidemic, a day at the track doesn’t seem like such a consolation.


See, just so happens Golden Ticket is sitting on a big one, just needed the extra furlong and the cushy polytrack to find his form. With 80-1 heading his .10 superfecta, Charlie is running to the cashier, and running as fast as he can. Nice payday Chuck, looks like you’ll be able to buy a pull out couch for the grandfolks.


Let’s find our Golden Ticket, shall we?
