Great work men !!! If I ever got lucky enough to take one those down, I probably be too excited to sleep for a week or two. Not even sure my heart could withstand the stress (be willing to give it a shot though!!). I think the fact that you guys won it on the carpet makes it even more remarkable to me.

To All:

THANK YOU so much for your loving support. Today was by far one of the greatest days of my life and there is an EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS story to go along with this, including being down to my last $60 and a straight exacta over at Golden Gate and then rolling that money($300) on Bigs horse at Churchill last race to get back to $960 to play the TICKET.

I have to thank Andy (Blackthroatwind) for essentially calming me down after I was 4 for 4 and calling him (Andy, this is Tom, WHO, SCAV, WHO, Oh hey man how you are?) and telling me NOT TO HEDGE. RIDE IT OUT he tells me given the situation. As he will probably say, I was absolutely frantic because I had no idea what the hell was going on. It is absolutely amazing feeling. It isn't excitement or happiness, it is a sense of satisfaction, and feeling this, it is a feeling that is like no other. More to come on this as I am filtering through everything and figureing out what is going on, including purchasing that plane ticket to Vegas in June and TOGA in July.

More to come later as I digest all this. Kev was right, I have been on the brink of tears for about the last three hours. Those that are close to me understand why (lots of stupid things) and all those stupid things, ARE CLEAR.

More to come later, and I will upload a file of the GREATEST PICTURE OF ALL TIME

FYI, I have gotten offers to go to stud already..

Agreed, it isn't really about the money when your horse crosses the line in the last leg. The first time I hit one I started screaming so loud they tried to kick me out of the OTB, then I showed the manager the winning ticket she says "you can scream as loud as you want" and had to call the central office for more cash to pay me out, LOL

I'm so happy for you. It's the best feeling in the world.

I have a friend who says he never bets the Pick 6. He says it's hard enough to pick one.

Even though my Pick 6 ticket went down in flames in the 2nd leg, it made me happy to hear that two DTers hit it! Especially after how down Scav was last week. And Bigs, twice in a month. Wow! Congratulations to both of you!
