It
’
s
simple
:
you
give
them
a
dollar
and
they
give
you
84
cents
back
.
It
’
s
called
the
’
take
.
’
The
state
and
the
track
split
it
about
even
.
They
don
’
t
care
who
wins
the
race
,
their
take
is
out
of
the
total
mutual
pool
.
"
In
the
second
race
my
horse
,
the
8
to
5
favorite
,
ran
second
.
A
longshot
had
nosed
me
at
the
wire
.
It
paid
$
45
.
80
.
The
man
two
rows
down
turned
and
looked
at
Katherine
.
"
I
had
it
,
"
he
told
her
,
"
I
had
ten
on
the
nose
.
"
"
Oooh
,
"
she
told
him
,
smiling
,
"
that
’
s
good
.
"
I
turned
to
the
third
race
,
an
affair
for
2
-
year
-
old
maiden
colts
and
geldings
.
At
5
minutes
to
post
I
checked
the
tote
and
went
to
bet
.
As
I
walked
away
I
saw
the
man
two
rows
down
turn
and
begin
talking
to
Katherine
.
There
were
at
least
a
dozen
of
them
at
the
track
every
day
,
who
told
attractive
women
what
big
winners
they
were
,
hoping
that
somehow
they
would
end
up
in
bed
with
them
.
Maybe
they
didn
’
t
even
think
that
far
;
maybe
they
only
hoped
vaguely
for
something
without
being
quite
sure
what
it
was
.
They
were
addled
and
dizzied
,
taking
the
10
-
count
.
Who
could
hate
them
?
Big
winners
,
but
if
you
watched
them
bet
,
they
were
usually
at
the
2
dollar
window
,
their
shoes
down
at
the
heels
and
their
clothing
dirty
.
The
lowest
of
the
breed
.
I
took
the
even
money
shot
and
he
won
by
6
and
paid
$
4
.
00
.
Not
much
,
but
I
had
him
ten
win
.
The
man
turned
around
and
looked
at
Katherine
.
"
I
had
it
,
"
he
told
her
.
"
$
100
to
win
.
"
Katherine
didn
’
t
answer
.
She
was
beginning
to
understand
.
Winners
didn
’
t
shoot
off
their
mouths
.
They
were
afraid
of
getting
murdered
in
the
parking
lot
.
After
the
fourth
race
,
a
$
22
.
80
winner
,
he
turned
again
and
told
Katherine
,
"
I
had
that
one
,
ten
across
.
"
She
turned
away
.
"
His
face
is
yellow
,
Hank
.
Did
you
see
his
eyes
?
He
’
s
sick
.
"
