I learned a lesson long ago

I love to play the ponies. I have been going to the races since Steve Cauthen started riding at River Downs in Cincinnati. That was a couple of years for he rode Affirmed to the Triple Crown. I have dropped winners before, it happens. I stated folding my losers into neat little wads before I drop them. I have dropped a ticket and walked away many times only to find that the result had been changed after a lengthy inquiry. I go back and find my ticket every time. No one likes to lose, but throwing away a winner is worse. I have heard stories before about the stoopers. I can absolutely believe it.
