Caterpillar's Murmur

Curry and Rice

(SUN) February 22nd, 2026

8:35 p.m. How could I be so skilfull? I bought trifectas today setting Costa Nova and W Heart Bond on first, second, third along with Perriere, Ramjet on the second row adding Wilson Tesoro on the third row and look what happened? Ramjet screwed up the start to drop way behind while Wilson Tesoro takes over W Heart Bond by half a length. my Wilson is on the third row, damn it! When would I win if I don't win a race likw this?

Enough of the self bullying. I shall compensate myself with curry and rice.
