Today is the Kentucky Derby and the first time I've been able to place "legal" bets on the race by visiting our local horse track.
So, like any good uncle, I thought I would introduce my nephews and niece to the world of horse racing.
Here you go guys and gal. I placed a $5 bet for each of you on different horses, and if you win, I'll cash it for you and send you the money. There can only be one winner, but I hope the lucky person will share their winnings with their siblings.
I chose each horse based on odds and the name that fit each one of you the best. Good luck!
** Matt : Your horse is Colonel John. He has odds of 4-to-1. A colonel his a high-ranking official just like you ... the oldest brother.
** Zach: Your horse is Big Brown. He is the favorite at 3-to-1. I chose him for you because you're really the only true brown kid in the family.
** Alex: Your horse is Pyro. His odds are 6-to-1. The name says it all. Who else do we think will be the first to get in trouble for starting a fire?
** Adriana: Your horse is Adriano. His odds are 30-to-1. I just couldn't resist picking this horse for you.
See you later,
Uncle Pat
