Heather,
Just a couple of things:
A. Congratulations - way to go - hooray - hot damn!
B. Since you posted at 10:15 p.m. (after the race was run) you are technically guilty of an ethics violation known as \"RED BOARDING\"
C. This is a serious no-no and many of us have done it once because we could not contain our excitement, and also because others will jump down our throat if we make a habit of it. In fact the ridicule can be unmerciful on repeat offenders.
D. The deal is... you need to tout before the race so you can feel dumb and embarrassed when you\'re wrong as well as on top of the world and appreciated when you are right.
E. As penance, I suggest you put 50% of your winning where you can get to them and play the rush with the rest.
