Biggest winning margin you've seen at the track

[my miss storm cat]

Okay well I've never actually seen him, but the old guys catch my attention.

Sometimes i check the Mountaineer entries just for the hell of it and one jumped out at me this morning.

Sir Dorset runs tonight, and look what I found.....

18-furlong wonder -- The 12-year-old gelding is getting old, but SIR DORSET (Vicksburg) can still put on a show. In 2003, he won a 2 1/4-mile starter allowance at Ellis Park by a staggering 43 1/4 lengths. He didn't race at the uncommon distance again until this Labor Day at Ellis, and was dismissed at nearly 9-2 against only three rivals. Bettors were likely turned off by his last three outings, three unplaced efforts versus similar company in one-mile and 1 1/8-mile races, but those distances are too short for Sir Dorset. Give him 18 furlongs. Sir Dorset strolled home 40 1/2 lengths on top.

Good luck to the old guy tonight.
