Last Tycoon in 1986 Breeders Cup Turf Mile. Back then each track maintained a separate betting pool and while he went to post at over 36-1 at SA, Penn National betters completely ignored him at well over 90-1. I put my last $5 on him on a hunch and tried to talk my buddy into going in with me...he laughed...after the race, he cried!

This year, I basically gave out the trifecta for the Black-Eyed Susan with Keen Pauline winning at double-digit odds.

Plenty of Grace
Santa Anita
199?

50-1

I'm visiting LA from the east coast taking customers to the track for their first time. (my 2000+ time) and I'm making the mistake for 8 races to tell them who will win.

I'm embarrassed as h*ll and we make one last stab in the feature as I pick

Plenty of Grace to top a $1,250 five dollar exacta

Big fun

FREE REDBOARDING!!

I needed a 5-1 shot to complete a $500 DD in a 5k claimer and the former stakes winner Miracle Wood came through.
The tough beats stand out more for some reason.

Thanks! "...Debonair Joe in a shocker!!"

I bet that horse by mistake. I was 21 years old and excited to be able to bet legally at the track in Sam Houston. I made a 100 dollar bet to win, earlier in the day, on the the number 4 horse in the 9th race. By the time I got home I realized I had bet the 8th race instead. I looked at the form and was disappointed at the hopeless longshot i mistakenly bet. Later I watched the replay and jumped out of my chair when this horse won at 53-1. The number 4 also won the 9th race but he was only 5 to 1.

Debonair Joe shocked everyone again few weeks later by winning the Malibu stakes at Santa Anita at 27 to 1.
