All-time favorite horses from betting...
This is probably the only horse in history who I ever won 3 "nose" photos with -- and all of them came at a price.
The great Said Enough.  He couldn't do sh!t on dirt...but he was a relative killer going a mile on the turf. I took notice of him when he was 3rd at 69/1 despite setting 22 and 44 and change fractions and the winner was last after a half mile - and 2nd place was second to last after a half mile. He's 34/1 and almost upsets a field at Saratoga next out. Sh!ts the bed on dirt... and proceeds to win photo after photo for me.

Is this an example of a read bored?

A filly named Caught In the Rain. As I recall she won consecutive races at Philly, NY and Kentucky at increasing double digit odds on the grass.

I had a $100 win bet on him in the vernon o underwood by accident. I wanted to bet the #4 horse in the 9th race but I played the 8th race instead. By the time I got home I noticed I bet the wrong race and was very upset but the horse won at 52-1. The #4 horse did win the 9th race but he was only 5-1.
The malibu I had a $2 4 horse Exacta Box.

I have an even crazier story of winning the Magna Pick 5 on Feb 25th 2006 for 11.7k before Uncle Sam's 25%. Einstein would have to be my most sentimental favorite horse over debonair Joe.

Einstein is probably the first horse to win Grade 1 races on Dirt, Turf and Synthetic.

Not that I know of. The '09 Big Cap was Pro-Ride, right?
Lava Man has a Gr 1 win on each surface.

Back when I first got into racing, and I didn't know much, I saw a couple of horses jumping up 2-3 claiming levels off of a 1-2 finish very recently.
Not really understanding the nuances of how the claiming system worked, I decided what the hell, these two shouldn't be going off at such a large price, and I boxed them. Sure as shid, Quip Star and Cachuma came back 1-2 again and the exacta paid something like 350 bucks. Some other claimers I really did well with included Bulig Z., Chris's Lad and abergwaun lad. They were never huge prices, but I always seemed to hit them on the right days. Abergwaun Lad was probably the most claimed horse I can think of. My favorite horse to bet was Tight Spot. I waited for him to Turf, and I bet him every start on Turf he made, right up till his BC mile appearance, which I knew he couldn't win. Made a killing betting Glen Hill Farm Relaunch babies the first couple of crops he sired.

You and I had a little catfight about Said Enough on the old AOL boards in early 2000. Poor horse ended his days racing at Los Al.
