Default Do you remember your first?

Do you remember the name of the horse you first successfully bet on?


Mine was Offlee Wild in the Mass Cap.

A horse name Nolan on the under card on Haskell day 1988? It may have even been a jump race. Gave him out to anyone who would listen, he made me very popular that day, he paid about $60 and I had him on a handful of winning exotic wager tickets.

Beaumax Ferris in Ruidoso 1976
My Uncle ran QH horses there.
I learned to hate QH racing.
