Happy Belmont Stakes day! Whom are YOU betting on?

FYI, this bet would've cost $12 (3 horses in 6 combinations of 1st, 2nd, 3rd)
it seems like they totally forgot that there were only 11 horses running. You would think that anyone with a passing interest in the Belmont Stakes would have heard that the Triple Crown potential I'll Have Another was pulled out of the race due to injury.
When you send a text message on the Verizon network, you can address your text by choosing a name out of your contact list, or you can address it by typing in a phone number. You can also type in a name. And if you type in L-E-I-L-A, then-- bizarrely-- your text will come to me. This is a blog about the texts I have received. All of them are from strangers, intended for other Leilas, but obviously they missed their marks.
I'm the author of the novels MOSTLY GOOD GIRLS, PAST PERFECT, and the forthcoming THIS SONG WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE. I also, for five years, received thousands of text messages intended for strangers named Leila on the Verizon network (http://theleilatexts.blogspot.com).

This is the sort of commitment to horse racing that I respect. Thank you.
