We are still looking for that elusive first win for the “Donation Play of the Day.” Sad news, to be sure.

But, we do have some good news.

Of all our picks this year, we have hit the board in all of them. Thus, the reason we are playing across the board. Right?

We have upped our ante to $25 WPS the last three bets.

And, we are looking to go higher once we can get a little momentum built. We are bound and determined to get to our goal of $1,500 — which we were able to hit last year.

All proceeds will go to the Homeless Veterans of Indianapolis — a favorite charity of Horseshoe Indy’s VP and GM Eric Halstrom. Thus, it is now a favorite charity of mine, too.

Today, we are going $25 WPS on Ship Serve in the 3rd race. 

Good Luck to all & All the Best / Gene
