Damn! first time in over 20 years that we didn't bet and we would have won
My father in law ALWAYS backs Barts horses then gives the winnings (if there is any) to my daughter

True it is is that you do not bet more than you can afford to lose. Yeah I lost about $25, but that's is my entire gambling budget for the year. Some people drop that in 5 mins on the pokies. Just a bit of cheap fun once a year.
