Gotta love youtube. Its great to watch older races that pre date me being alive or predate my interest. Thanks for posting.

Skip Away winning his BC Classic

Bellamy Road winning his Wood Memorial

Monarchos winning his KY Derby

Ghostzapper winning an allowance race where he stumbled badly at the start spotting the field many lengths

Funny Cide winning his Preakness

Separated Love winning the last race of the day at Saratoga on Hopeful Day the year Lucky Roberto won the Hopeful (How can I forget? Had Tactical Cat hung on in the Hopeful, I would have cashed a 40K ticket. Still the most money I have ever won on any race in my life)

Love Sign winning the Beldame in 1980 (She also won it in 1981)

Rat Lobster @ Toga this summer???

Another reason why I love you so much. Thanks for reminding me.

How about me not betting Delta Sea? You not betting Limoncello?
At least you cashed with Lundar Rendezvous. And I with Hither Lane and D Money.

Oracle not betting that horse he touted all day at Monmouth (2 year old I think, went off at like 9/2 and jogged).

I think so...was a bigger field...because I ended up betting one of the AE's, the #14 horse....

Gander 01-02-2007 08:58 PM

Actually I think On the Catalk was in the 2nd leg of the Pick 6. I was 3 for 3 and then Leparoux stiffed me on Pure Incentive. Didnt have the next wiiner either, I think that was a turf filly Mike Smith was riding.

I'll take Afleet Alex in the Preakness... we'll never see anything like that again.

Gander 01-03-2007 07:58 AM

Kev- The horse with Mike Smith that won late in the card that I didnt have in my pick 6 was Noble Stella.

Still trying to come up with the name of the horse that started off the Pick 6 that day. His/her name eludes me.

I put in a request to Oracle to see what the name of that 2 year old he liked at Monmouth but didnt bet was.
