My Top 5...
8/11/90: Michael Aro's Rockingham shipper Keynote Speaker (25-1; Chavez on) catches Tom Bush's Balinar (14-1; Mig on) at the wire in the 3rd race on Go for Wand's Alabama Day. $721 exacta with the board's two longest prices and my first IRS ticket. 5/6/95: DWL's #3 Derby horse Thunder Gulch with Gary Stevens scores for a $51 win tote that keys big exotics with McPeek's Tejano Run and Wayne's favored Timber Country. Still my largest single race take away, and it came at Hippodrome Bluebonnets in Montreal, so there was no tax witholding. 11/4/00: Best. Breeders' Cup Day. Ever. Too involved to specify, but biggest hit came thanks to Frankel's Honest Lady at 31-1 second behind Kona Gold and ahead of Bet On Sunshine. A bonanza. 1/28/06: Marty Wolfson's Miesque's Approval in the Sunshine Millions Turf not only wins at 48-1 with Eddie Castro, but spoils Jerry Bailey's last mount (Silver Tree) at the same time. 4/30/10: Eric Guillot and Mike Moreno's Champagne D'oro wires the Acorn at 39-1 under Martin Garcia with a large number of DTers and ATR listeners riding along happily.
