![]() Back when I first got into racing, and I didn't know much, I saw a couple of horses jumping up 2-3 claiming levels off of a 1-2 finish very recently.
Not really understanding the nuances of how the claiming system worked, I decided what the hell, these two shouldn't be going off at such a large price, and I boxed them. Sure as shid, Quip Star and Cachuma came back 1-2 again and the exacta paid something like 350 bucks. Some other claimers I really did well with included Bulig Z., Chris's Lad and abergwaun lad. They were never huge prices, but I always seemed to hit them on the right days. Abergwaun Lad was probably the most claimed horse I can think of. My favorite horse to bet was Tight Spot. I waited for him to Turf, and I bet him every start on Turf he made, right up till his BC mile appearance, which I knew he couldn't win. Made a killing betting Glen Hill Farm Relaunch babies the first couple of crops he sired. |

![]() He was only under even money once in that whole winning streak, with a high price of 5/2.
Some of the largest horse racing bets (I used to bet far more on baseball) I made were on him. I made thousands on him. The only win bet I lost on him was that bogus DQ in the DMR race. |

In the only town in the USA, no less, with more dead people (a city of cemeteries) than living. Though, you don't remember the details quite right. |

Lighten up Francis, it was a joke. I knew he never paid much. That is all I was saying. Now that is getting caught in a tight spot. |

I think she has a huge shot in the Distaff as well. I just wish I would have taken the 15:1 the Wynn was offering on her 2 weeks ago, when I was out there. The biggest long shot I have had a huge opinion on was last November, when I loved King Congie getting the turf @43:1 ![]() |

I suspected that I might get poked fun of by that Tight Spot bit anyways. As for the other tight spot I found myself in, it was pretty interesting finding myself homeless at 2 AM in a dead town hundreds of miles away from my home, with no car. I looked up my cousins later that morning, and dropped acid for the only time in my life. It ended up being a pretty cool weekend. |
