Betting the Belmont from Canterbury Park

 

Betting the Belmont from Canterbury Park

Todd Swank's Diary Entry for June 8, 2025


Thursday night bingo at Crooked Pint with the Walters crew. We didn’t win much, but with this group, you leave feeling richer—just not in the way that covers your bar tab.


We stopped by Avery and Abby’s on Saturday. Abby’s been healing from sinus surgery and Avery’s been earning Nurse of the Month. Great to see them both smiling—and not just because the meds finally kicked in.

Afterwards we made our way to Canterbury Park for the Belmont Stakes and some local races. There’s just something fun about watching giant animals sprint while grown adults scream at paper tickets like they’re stock portfolios.


Tried using ChatGPT for betting tips and crushed it—$34 on the Belmont and $39 on the first live race. Lost $20 on the third, or we’d probably be living at Canterbury by now and naming horses “Prompt Engineer.”


Caught this trio of trumpeter swans on the drive home—welcoming their new little note to the world. A baby trumpet, softly sounding the next movement in nature’s symphony.

@toddswank Went to the track expecting a calm photo. The horse had… other plans. I’m not saying it was personal, but he definitely came in hot. #HorseChaos #KlingAI #AIvideo #GenerativeAI #OutOfControl #DerbyDrama #EquineEnergy #canterbury ♬ Old Town Road #2 - Lil Nas X
