This past BC as well...Distaff....this was best bet I never placed....I remember saying on this board that Round Pond, Happy Ticket, and Balletto are locks if all are 100% and trips are ok...well I never thought there would be 2 breakdowns, but I don't think that would have mattered. Well long story short, my pc had crashed, so I was going to have to go to the otb to bet, but I also had to juggle that with our annual Breeder's Cup get together we have. I ended up getting wrapped up in something around the house and didn't go to make my bets....$1 tri paid $4,400 and change. Kev called me as soon as the race was over and I can't recall what I said but it was something that I'm sure Steve would send me to the DT penalty box if I repeated....

Had a horse I owned that I'd claimed for $C5k. He'd won two races after I claimed him then he went sour, didn't hit the board in 4 or 5 races and was beaten everytime by over 20.

Gave him 60 days off, then 60 more to train back to a race. On paper his form looked terrible coming off the layoff. In the paddock, my trainer just looked at me and for the first time ever, said "He's ready to go".

Usually don't bet my horses but played a little over $100 of tri's and ex's. He went off 14-1. Hit with a Lake horse and a Capuano horse underneath and walked out with over $6k in my pocket.

Turned around and ran him two weeks later in the 9f Old Man Winter at Philly Park. Hammered him again in the tri's with two of Lake's horses and walked out of there with over $10k.

Used the cash to buy another horse - spent what was left in about 6 months training/feeding his sorry, slow......
