Too tired to talk about your 'pretty horsie' list....It is so much better have 'lists' for jockeys anyways, you can go off on a jockey 1-7 times a day depending on how some of them actually still get rides...

We should go to South America or inner city Chicago and find four weight qualified hard workers and tell them to train hard and you could make them a millionaire. Show them rides by Shane Laviolette as WHAT NOT TO DO and show them rides by Kent Desormeaux/Javy Castellano/some Bailey/Stevens on WHAT TO DO. I see people all around here that could easily make weight and they bust their ass, just hope they have some heart and passion, and they would be better then 70% of the jocks out there...

Default full swing and miss

I play long shots and I've messed up so many bets with them that I am numb. The pivotal moment was when I bet Vision and Verse over Lemon Drop Kid, Charismatic and Best of Luck. I was going to make another bet with LDK on top but got in an argument with some drunk that sat at my table. to this day I think about running him and his wore out wife over with my car until they are nothing but a stain.

The Super paid over $140k at Sportsman's Park because the great Pat Day finished off the board.

Had Sarava missed the trifecta

There was a race last year at Laurel
I looked at the 80-1 shot several times but just couldn't get him there. The numbers I bet were 3-5-9. they came in behins the 8 and the Super paid over $200k. I don't claim to have missed the Super. Never considered betting it but that's all I remember as far as payouts go.

Oh, bet the Exacta with 3 other horses keying Not Phone in California...
they all came in and it paid over $20k for $1 Superfecta.

I did really well in the Breeder's Cup last year. Just couldn't get the big payoff. hit the tri int he Juv Colts. Shoulda bet the Super it was so easy. Yet early int he day. then hit Rond Pond but only hot exacta :-(
only hit win bet on Thor's Echo left out the place horse..

anyway like anyone is still reading this rambling mess

My biggest actual payout was a Superfecta at Mountaineer. keyed the first 3 places and then hit all. Didn't have the ongshot in the all spot but actually picked him to run third. Paid $4k for the $2 Super. I usually only bet $1 exotics but I chose $2 for the exacta and forgot to switch back to $1. Cashed $4,800 on one race.

i guess i have another one, which happen this past saturday....

santa anita in the kilroe mile, this one was really bad i was already having a horrible day and this was the absolute icing on the cake....

i love kip deville and i always play win place but for some strange reasson i did not, i played a $10 triple wheel my play was this....

kip deville/Bayeux, Silent Name/After Market


this is the worst play i have ever made, because i had the race figured out and i bet it horrible. i have always loved after market not to long ago i was on here saying he was super talented and could have a huge year then he lost in that gulfstream allowance and he was kinda forgotten i figured he could run third and make a large tri... but instead of me putting the 2 horses i used for second in third with after market i just put after market in third and lost out on a huge triple, even if i had it the way it was i would have took $700, 5 times because i played a $10 wheel
