I didn't bet the horse. I just know that Randall did and remember him touting her for a good month before the BC that year, especially in light of the set up she had in the Spinster and running against the bias at Keeneland that day.

Two of my most successful years were early on but still my favorites:

1986 --- Manila

1988 --- Gulch with Play The King (exacta)

More recently in 2006 when Invasor drilled Bernardini was the highlight of a nice day.

Funny story from 2004 when I was in Las Vegas for the Cup, which was only my second breeders cup that I wagered on, and as I was still relatively new to the game I was betting pretty conservatively.

With about 5 Minutes to Post to the BC Sprint, I made a small $1 PK 3 bet singling Speightstown and Ouija Board and talking ALL in the juvy (2-5-All).

As I walked back to my seat, I looked at my ticket, and realized the teller had punched a Trifecta bet instead of a PK 3 (2-5-all). It caught my eye at first because it was an $11 bet, and the PK 3 should have only been $9 (juvy field was small that year).

So, I raced up there and changed my ticket just before the race goes off. Once the race finishes, I see that it came in 2-6 (Speighstown and Kela, two favorites) and as I looked to see who was third, my worst fear was realized when My Cousin Matt clunked up at a huge price. I quickly realize I just canceled a 2-6-all trifecta that paid around $1200 or $1300 for a $1.

Fortunately, Oujia Board won the F/M turf and the unremarkable Wilko won the BC juvy at a huge price, so the PK3 did pay nice (around $500 I think), and since that was my intended bet all along, I didn't really let it bother me all that much.

But ever since, I've always been hesitant to cancel a mis-keyed ticket before a race, especially smaller ones.

(A couple of people thought i was crazy).

Went to Belmont that year (section 2E, row F, seat 12 Clubhouse Reserved 2nd floor and no I don't know why i remember that )... it was fantastic and the Euros in the Turf made for an even nicer day.

2008 Santa Anita was a good day too.

Thank you, Desert Code and The Mig.

Best (2005) moment was being about a foot away from Kieren Fallon and Ace.

(ACE!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I know you know what I'm sayin', English Channel boy.
