What a race

my most favorite was my first live race. I bet on.

May 29,2000 a 5 Furlong Turf Sprint I placed a 2 dollar wager on Caro's Royalty. and she nipped Show Me the Stage at the wire to win at 4 to 1.

That race also featured the great sprinter HeckofaRalph.

Easy with handing out the "greats" there...possibly consider the word "good" or "my favorite" in place of "great". Heckofaralph was certainly not great when comparing him to other sprinters.

... At least when comparing him to Caro's Royalty....

for me it would be watching smarty jones approaching the wire i nthe Belmont, looking for all the world to be a new triple crown champion, and seeing Birdstone pass him for glory and the whole crowd deflating. i'll never forget that.
