Great Hit!

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.
