Yea....my wife always had a thing for the horses that had the term "Cat" somewhere in the name. Funny thing was she was onto something there for awhile, not every time she bet but enough to make me take a second look at my own wagering.

Another thing I believe also is a bettor should go with their first gut instinct....if you think long you think wrong sometimes. At the end of the day, it's all just a horse race and if you're not having a good time then you should be doing something else

I also 100% agree with Elwood....sitting at home placing bets significantly hurts your chances of winning.
