1993 Kentucky Derby. Was in a long line 20 minutes to post, in danger of being shut out and no time to get another julep. I see a short line down the row and hop over. My intention was to bet six exacta combinations at $10 each. I had a nice (for me, college boy) win ticket on Sea Hero, but had been waiting on weather to decide on exactas. Anyway, the short line was the $50 minimum line. I decided to let it all ride on the 6-5 (Sea Hero/Prarie Bayou who was the favorite) straight, something I would have never done if behind and sober. PAid 97-1, and I took the boys out on the town. I must have bought 100 drinks for the girls they kept sending my way.
