Debonair Joe - Vernon O Underwood Stakes Hollywood Park 2002

Einstein - Gulfstream Park Handicap 2006

[TheSpyder]

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

[Port Conway Lane]

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.

[pweizer]

Karakontie in last year's Breeder's Cup Mile which led to a six figure score.

Paul

[Indian Charlie]

Eternity Star 1991 Del Mar Derby at almost 40/1

Thirty Slews BC Sprint, getting something like 36/1 in the NYRA pool. Like an idiot, however, I bet one other horse to win in the race, and ran second with that one as well. I'm really a terrible bettor.

Dare and Go in the Pacific Classic, which was nice for me since I thought Cigar was going to win a Breeders Cup race off his maiden win, 6f on dirt, but I thought he was going to be much better on turf. I proceeded to bet him every start after that up until he left California.

The race that hooked me was a cheap claiming race. I saw the first two finishers of something like a 12k claiming race, Quip Star and Cachuma, go up to I think a 25k claiming race, I bet the exacta, which hit and paid about $350, thus thinking this game is ridiculously easy.

Anees - BC Juvy
Strike A Deal - 2010 Dixie Stakes at Pim (Ramon wires 'em at 14-1)


The most satisfying win was with:
Roanoke River Rain - Clm race on the turf at Pim in 2003...this horse won 3 races in his life, all of them a day or two before the Preakness. I finally caught on for the 3rd one at 15-1.

Anees?

How'd you hit that?

You must have known mandella was my favorite trainer and that I had a future book bet at a big price on the other mandella, whom ran second.

[casp0555]

The one that comes to mind first is Woodmans Luck, off the pace winner in the final at Hollywood Park. Capped a nice Pick 4 but it was, from what I remember, the first time I had a sincere emotional reaction to a horse race.

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.

[ninetoone]

Pleasantly Perfect in the BCC...man oh Mandella what a hit @14-1

[keithting]

My most memorable wager was ironically the one I did NOT want to cash.....

I had a major wager on Bernardini in the 2006 Preakness.....

or as the Boss so eloquently sings it "For every wish, there comes a curse"....
