I was 17 years old and remember going to the OTB down the block to bet it and had to get someone to cash my ticket for me!!! LOL
As much as I wanted Serena's Song to win that day, I knew the distance would get her. I played Thunder Gulch across the board and started screaming when he hit the lead. My only other overlay was Casual Lies in 1992. I wanted Ap Indy but decided to play CL when they scratched Indy. Figured CS had been running 2nd or 3rd to Indy in CA. so why not play him across the board.
