My records are intact JB but my memory isn't quite what it never was. Anyway you are mostly right about Derby Day. In 16 years the last big hit was in 2011. Dance Smartly hit a big $1 trifecta and ended the day $1941 to the good . That is still good for 10th place on the list but Derby Day hasn't produced a lot of big hits. In fact the year after Dance Smartly hit the group got swept with a slew of minus $200's. The next best Derby Day was Ruffian's with a plus $785 (big shock.....her winner was Camelot Kitten). There were a mid range hits between $400 and $600 but all and all with a $200 bankroll the hits have been mid range.
