BETTING WITH BOB : MAN VS. MICROCHIP

The computer and I both lost Saturday in our seventh-race showdown. Record Boom finished third, costing me $30.

My bets today are a $20 triple from Deposit Ticket in the fourth to Elusive Road and Captain Vigors in the fifth to the entry of Light Pleasure and Pendleton Ridge. Also, a $10 triple from Deposit Ticket to Elusive Road and Captain Vigors to Private World and Serious Flight in the sixth.

Bob’s Saturday Bankroll: $2,012

Saturday’s Loss: $30

Current Bankroll: $1,982

The computer correctly called Polar Boy to finish second in the seventh race, but its key horse, Stalwars, finished fifth. The computer’s bet today is $80 to win on Classic Fame in the eighth race.

Computer’s Saturday Bankroll: $1,985.50
