My race selections on Twitter can best be summed by the Toby Keith song, "I Love This Bar": "We've got winners, we've got losers..."
Sometimes we have both in the same race as was the case with the Pacific Classic Stakes on Sunday at Del Mar when 8-to-5 post time odds on Game On Dude caused me to bet that horse to win rather than Kettle Corn--the horse I picked on Steve Byk's "At The Races" as well as tweeted and discussed with friends.
