(Katlama, WA) The SportsCat did ok on Saturday. The win percent was down and a couple of scratches in his trifecta bets limited his chances and he was still close but now wins. His trifecta bets were well reduced though from $66 to a $20 total. He missed on a $75 combo with a loss of all $75 and he missed on his $40 show parlay.

BUT!! and it’s a big BUTT! Larry hammered Sumthintotalkabout in the finale with a $25 win-place-show. The 12-1 shot ridden expedrtly b y Kevin Orozco returned Larry $515 and change. So he adds another $300+ to his total for a profit on the year of almost $620.

Larry has updated his trifecta tracker and he’s ready for a big Sunday.
