HOT SPRINGS — I walked from the parking lot of Oaklawn Park at lunchtime today for 1:05:28.
I lost the one bet I made, for $5, so I'm down $12 after two trips.
OVERHEARD
"I got a song for him: 'You're a loser. You're a fucking loser' ''*
—from one of several women walking up to the second floor at Oaklawn Park a few minutes before Race 3, right after (and I mean fucking nearly instantly after) one of the others said: "Hey, look. There's a horse in this race named Sing Him a Song." The woman's tune was very well received, both by her friends and, by extension, most of the Oaklawn pressbox
*sung to a rather nebulous tune that was, for Pete at least, reminiscent of a pop hit from the 1970s or 1980s
