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.

Lieutenant's Lark, a horse i groomed for Howie Tesher winning the 86 Washington DC Int at 35-1. Bet $200 w/p and had a $30 exacta with Dance of Life paying $400 and some change.
Itsallgreektome 30-1 first time out on the grass in the 90 Spotlight Hncp at HP. It was Derby Day and a million in the pick 6 that day. I ended up with 5 -6 but nobody had 6, so the 5's paid 5k. Had 3 horses on the race i missed. Also he was the back end of the pick 3 which i had a few times. Cleared about 20k for the day..

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.

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

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"....
