I was living in Miami at the time, and in those Miami "pre-South Beach" years there was lots much local hype for Spectacular Bid.

Oh, and just so I can be cited for a 30+ year old redboard, I was in Miami when jockey Walter Guerra was riding with a bug.

I knew he was good, early on.

So I bet him.

And did more than OK as he became better known.

Of course I didn't make much money in those days, so I didn't have big scores.

Probably I looked like one of those "That 70's Show" characters as I approached the $10 windows in Miami.....
