longshots

The longest shot that I actually handicapped and wagered on was Musique Toujours in the Sunshine Millions Classic a few years back. I think he was a little more than 70 to 1.

Charasmatic in the Derby at 30-1. I had 20WPS and the exacta and tri.

Long ago when I first started this game I had very Subtle in the BCSPRINT. I think it was like 1988 or something.

My favorite longshot was a horse nobody probably heard off called Summer Sale. The reason is I caught him 4 times at better than 10-1. He was a stakes and alw type horse a GG fields and I had him at 18-1 when he broke his madain. He was 18-1 the next time he ran in alw. event and he won again. This was before simalcasting... I happened to be in Reno and went into the sportsbook and noticed that Summer Sale was racing at Santa Anita on the Turf and again he was 20-1. i put 10 on him and he won again. And finally one more time in a stakes race at 12-1. I will remember that horse forever. he made me some $$$$$$$$.

Better Talk Now in the BC...big hit

Singletary same year

Best of all was Pleasantly Perfect in the BC Classic. Only 14-1, but was a beautiful overlay off a 10-1 morning line. What a gift.

Pleasant Home last years Distaff....raced against the bias at Keeneland in her last prep and had some back class...30-1 and saved me from a horrific day.

Mine would be throwing sprinter My Cousin Matt in my 2004 BC Sprint trifectas. Speighstown took it, followed by Kela and then My Cousin Matt clunked up for third at 62-1 or something wild like that. Threw him in solely because I liked his performance in person at Suffolk a few months earlier in the Moseley BC Sprint against Gators N Bears I think. Slightly lame angle, but the payout was $2800 for $2, only used a $20 tri key I think...

Mine was Pleasant Home as well. I had every possible thing with her. I had the tri, exacta, 20 ATB, the pick 3 (on top, middle and bottom) and I had the pick 4. One of the most beautiful 3 hours of my life.

No Allegiance a couple of weeks ago at Belmont. I think it went off at 26-1. Spain at Churchill and Cat Thief in the Classic.

I think that Seek Gold should be remembered... good heavens, he was the LAST horse I would have looked at to win the Stephen Foster.

Well, mine has to be Last Tycoon in the 86 BCM...this was before the wagering pools were combined and he paid over $180 at Penn. I tried to talk my buddy into putting a few bucks on him but he laughed in my face...I swear he turned green when the horse crossed the finish line!
