Saturday’s (5/16) Bets and results

Larry ended up getting roasted in the Preakness and simply needed Ocelli to show and he ended up 4th. Had he gotten up for 3rd Larry would have profited a few bucks but instead got a big fat 0.

At Emerald Downs he lost $191 but got thrown a curve when the stewards DQ’d Candy Caballo who would have given Larry 2 trifectas and the show parlay. But they made the call and nothing Larry can do but try to rebound on Sunday.

Larry was 4 of 6 on the pick 6 and will look to try and get it on Sunday. Here are his results from Saturday.
