Chandler Street Loop/Oaklawn Park

I walked the Chandler Street Loop this evening in 49:22, starting just after I returned from Oaklawn Park. I went with Tom Zaloudek, and left with a net gain of $1.60, to cut my deficit for the season to $67.30. I will go Saturday—the final day—for the Arkansas Derby, with an obvious goal of winning at least $67.30. Breaking even is a victory for gambling addicts. "Fuck, yeah. I went ten times, and all I'm out is a hundred dollars worth of gas, fifty-five dollars on Racing Forms, maybe eighteen dollars on programs, I think twelve on admission, and probably sixty dollars worth of hot dogs and tuna salads. It was a great year."
