My three biggest scores

1) Pleasant Home last year in the BC Distaff

2) Powerscourt in the Arlington Million last year

3) Last Pick Four at Hollywood in 2005 that paid $3500 on the $12 I put into it

Score wise....$50WP bet on the Yes It's True baby trying turf for the first time at Hollywood earlier this year was sweet. Returned me $1,050. I can picture that baby hauling up the rail coming for home and me SCREAMING in Scavs ear over the phone...LOL

Mine was when I had $200 to win on Oh Jazzy Day at 10/1 and he came to the top of the stretch with more than a 15 length lead, only to wilt like a flower in mid stretch and finish 4th.

I like losing more than winning. I can relate to it more.

I once was living in my car in the middle of winter and needed this horse "Alex Kovalev" to win to get me out of my horribly depressing situation. It was the back end of a double coming back 6 grand. Oracle was there.

He made a huge middle move only to get steadied at the top of the stretch losing any chance. I went back to my car and the parking lot of Applebees and laughed my ass off all night while swilling a 24 oz Heineken.

1974... Hazel Park. Kathy's All Heart, Danny Scocca up. I was 16, working at the pool hall at Cass and 2nd in downtown Detroit. They sent me to bet $300 W/P on the horse. She paid $17.40. I walked out with $3500. They gave me $300. Felt like the kid in Goodfellas.
