All-time favorite horses from betting...

[Indian Charlie]

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.
