Aqueduct Jan 1976 - arrived late to the track and in a rush to bet the 1st race Daily Double (the only one of the day back then)
Had to go to the $10 window ($2 window's line was too long) and bet $10 DD on 7-10.
Well, the #7 was nosed out by the #2 horse on the wire and of course the #10 easily won the 2nd race under Jorge Velasquez in the slop. I remember that well...
Later in the day, though, I made my money back by cashing a win bet on Gallant Bob in the Paumonok Hdcp. I was hooked !!!
