One Good Hit

Thomas W Case



To get back
in the game,
I need one
good hit.
A horse with
early lick;
that has more
heart than
Joe Louis
and Jake
LaMotta
combined.
I need decent odds,
at least 8-1.
The racing
gods have to
smile on me
one more time.
At least for
6 furlongs,
and then baby,
I'm back in the
game.

    Your love of horse racing brought my Dad and brothers to the fore. When they won, we were all winners. It didn’t happen that often:) I have to admit enjoying a day out at the racetrack though. Ascot and Epsom in particular. Good luck with your bets.

      Wonderful philosophy gambling, this can be taken so many ways also simply as a horse race that could possibly change a life or not. Superb as always.
