I walked from the Oaklawn Park press box to the Regions bank branch at the south end of the parking lot to get money for a hot dog. Counting that, plus time spent wandering among the barns and a trip back to the press box, I spent 40:14 walking early in the afternoon before I wrote a story about the Rainbow Miss Stakes, a six-furlong race for 3-year-old Arkansas-bred fillies.
I lost five dollars and am down $28.50 for the season. With two weeks left, I'm running out of time.
